Used 2002 Saab 9-5 Consumer Reviews
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!
2002 Linear 9-5 is amazing !
This car is a HUGE value right now as everybody is paying way too much for the Audi A4. After driving both the only advantage the Audi has is in the 4WD + Good luck buying an Audi with Onstar unless you wish to drop 5K on options and wait until the fall. I was about to wait and pay the premium when I saw a Saab 9-5 , test drove it and within 5 days was looking at a bill of sale. This is a great time to buy a Saab remember to knock off 3K under the invoice as the dealers are getting cash back. ( one dealer in Connecticut would not admit to this and quoted me a higher price pocketing the cash back - what a jerk :).

Third Saab is a Charm
Car is a beautiful cosmic blue 5 speed Aero wagon. Had to wait three months to take delivery, but has been worth the wait. Although not as tight a thoroughbred as my 1988 SPG or 1989 SPG it still is a excellant family performance vehicle. Car accelerates effortlessly without turbo lag. Car easily hits rev limiter if not carful and can hit 70 mph is second gear. Still have not approached 5 gear rev limit of car. Suspension is softer than I'm used to, but it does make for a very enjoyable touring vehicle. Acceleration from 30 to 100 mph can be dangerous due to the amount of torque available from this light vehicle.
Great Deal
This is my 2nd new Saab 9/5. I am still amazed at all of the options that are standard on this car for the price. Add at least $5k to any other cars in this class for the same thing.
Love It All
This my first Saab car although I looked at them back in the 80's. I needed a car that could easily handle the number of cats I have and not be a SUV. I liked the idea that not everyone was driving a Saab which makes it unique to me. I knew what I wanted when I walked in the dealership a Aero Sportwagon with Automatic and the Sports Package. The car they had wasn't the color I wanted but that didn't bother me at all. It was love a first sight and the color ( silver ) hides the dirt so well I have no regrets about the color choice.I plan on getting another Saab in 2005.
