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.

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.

Was only thinking of buying a new car, but when I test-drove the Saab 9-5, I had to have it! I had driven a Jeep Cherokee for 7 years, and needed a change. This car fit the bill - made driving fun again and even handles better than my Jeep in the snow. Just about everything about this vehicle screams style - I get so many compliments. Great car at a great price (exceptional incentives).

I love my car. The quality and comfort of the interior make it a joy to drive on any length trip. The automatic transmission has some lag, but overall I have found it to be smooth and responsive. If you are considering a Saab, you must test-drive one - the turbo makes it a blast to drive, with plenty of power for city and highway, at any speed. I wish the 2002 had side-curtain air- bags, but other than that I have no regrets, and only wish that I had moved to Saabs earlier. Prior cars have included a 94 Camry wagon and a 00 Volkwagen Passat wagon. I liked the Passat, but I like the Saab better. This is a definite 10 year car.

Our 5th Saab

We just purchased our fifth Saab, a 9-5 linear 2.3t. As usual, we were not disappointed. Saabs are great fun to drive, especially in a manual trans. and this one is no exception.Great comfort, cockpit, fuel economy, and value. We chose this over the BMW 525, the Jaguar X-type, Audi A6. Glad we stuck with Saab.
