2002 9-5 Aero - Amazing car

Aerosmith, 03/30/2002
2002 Saab 9-5 Aero 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

The Aero is one of the most underestimated cars on the market. For a couple thousand less than a BMW 330i, I picked up my Aero which blows away the bimmer in terms of performance and fun factor. My cosmic blue also (in my opinion) matches the average Bimmer in looks, too. HP and torque from the Aero engine are equivalent to an Audi S4, but the Aero weighs about 230 lbs less. The result--it's tough to find a sedan that can match the Aero from 30 - 75 MPH. Saab has also done a great job tweaking the suspension--the responsiveness and composure of the car is awesome. Not to mention the great seats!

Shopping Volvos at Auto Show, came across Saab, sat in drivers seat and was smitten. Visited dealer, drove 2001 Aero, was thunderstruck. Soon, 02 Arc arrived, w/ 5sp Auto, upgraded suspension, was hooked. Saab had 02 Preview Promo with dealer cash, good price on trade, took the plunge. After 1500 miles, I love this car, excellent dealer service. Drives great. Handling composed; quiet at speed, 26MPG freeway, and goes from 50 to 100mph in a snap! Safe, incl. 3yrs maint. Worry-free.

2002 Saab 9-5 Linear 2.3t 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

After 4 yrs with this car, finally turned the lease in to buy a 9-3 convertible @ 0% financing. My long term impression of this car was quite good. In fact, I had intended to buy this car at the end of lease when the 0% deal came up. There was a small leak in the sunroof from a poor seal when I first bought the car, fixed under warranty. After that, only required routine maintance over 61K miles. Most reliable car I have ever owned over 4 years. The 185 hp sometimes made me wince, and strained at times merging onto highway, but putting in sport mode usually solved all problems. Was excellent in the snow with all-season tires. Never bought the snows, although I live in MN
