Black Turbo Powered Beauty
This car is FAST for a wagon and SAFE. It's a very sturdy, solid car being quite able to zip up a steep hill without a problem. I also love the design. Several times strangers on the street have commented to me how 'good looking' this car is! I'm also impressed how roomy the back is. I can get my large bike right in w/ the back seats down. I also like the low profile of the rear 'floor' easy to get things (including our dog) in & out. I have had some oil leak problems and several hoses that have gone bad in the past few years, but considering it is now 8 yrs old not too bad in repair terms. I just test drove a '04 Volvo wagon and I have to say that I still like my Saab way more!
Saab- 2002 -9-5 review
The Saab 9-5 combines great performance with safety and comfort. This car is better on ice and snow than my 4-WD truck. The traction control is awesome. Great Mileage and stop in your tracks good looks.

Buy One You Won't Be Disappointed
This is the best car I have ever owned. I shopped Passat, S-60, 330i, A- 4. Saab had a better feel, better value and better materials than all but the Audi, problem is the Audi is ugly and way overpriced. The dealership was perfect and the car has some steep incentives that can really tip the scales in its favor. But from the first drive the packaging and engine are light years better than my 87 900 Turbo convertable. This car is a welcome breath of fresh air and fun. On-star is great I recommend the calling feature.
Smooth, fun and safe
My 5yr old nephew was impressed and loved the car because it looked like "a plane" from the outside and inside. My 3rd Saab(from: 900, 9-3SE, now '02 9- 5Linear) and have been very happy most especially the 9-5. Great space (hauled a love seat), lots of standard features that are still optional in some cars 6yrs later (side airbags, ESP, 5-spd auto tran, glovebox cooler, Trip-comp, dual sun-visors, Harmon-Kardon etc.) Safe - a fist-sized rock hit windshield 2x/2occasions and only a small chip, rear-ended by an Explorer and no damage (Explorer bumpers bent and caved-in). Great in long-drives, very peppy and quite! The Aero would have been exhilirating. Plan 2 keep it until 1M miles!
SAAB has done it again
I used to own a 9-3, wonderful car, but my new 2002 9-5 AERO is close to perfect. The handeling extremly good, the SAAB engine is worth a Nobel-price (as usuall in SAAB) etc. I've tried every Volvo made but they have nothing to compare with SAAB. SAAB's number 1!
