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.

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.

Generally very nice. I just couldn't get weened off the BMW addiction...so I leased another BMW. Still too much torgue steer and I found the seats a little uncomfortable with no natural place to rest my arms while driving. But this car is greatly improved over the 2001 Aero.

I had this car for 3 months now and I am very, very happy. It is fast and people notice it because it is unique. The transmission is smooth and interior is very cool.

This car is a dream to drive. I've driven the I35, G35, 330, and the A4, and the 9-5 Aero blows them all away. The ride is smooth, yet the power is there when you need it! I'd recommend everyone test drive one if you're considering a sport/luxury car.
