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.

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.

I also shopped the 9-3, X-type 2.5, VW Passat & Jetta, Audi A4, Volvo V40 & S60, IS300 and Nissan Maxima. The combination of performance, style, safety & luxury features, and comfort in the 9-5 were unbeatable at my transaction price just over $28k (thanks to GM employee discount and $3k incentive). Assuming the reliability is there, I might actually keep this one longer than my average of 2 years. I'm glad they resisted the urge to Passat-ize the car with chrome in '02. I think the overall shape will age very well, I really can't see any changes in the interior for '02 except the color & finish of the dash veneer.

Got an automatic linear with the ESP, Harmon-Kardon Audio, memory steats, etc. package. Smooth and sporty feel even with snows (these make the car as good as a 4WD in winter where originals are sketchy) Improved suspension from old 9-5 helps but it still understeers a bit. Great trunk room which is key since I went from a pickup to the 9-5.
