I loved this car when I first bought it. Thought I got a good deal and luckily got the extended warranty. It was fine for the the first few months but since then it has been in the shop every 2-3 months. Turbo went, alternator went, multiple sensors, etc. Driving on the highway last week, the passenger turning signal assembly flew off the car! Worst car I ever bought. Will never buy another Saab.
Great car!

2002 Saab 9-5 Arc 3.0t 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 5A)

This is my first Saab but I am hooked. I bought it on Dec 30 2007 and have not had any issues. You cannot beat the price for the amount of car. I live in northern KY in an area that is saturated with Chevy Impalas, Toyota Camrys, and Honda Accords. I love the uniqueness of the Saab. Great performance and decent fuel mileage along with excellent build quality are my favorite aspects. My only complaint is the pixelated LED display which should be a recall since it is apparently so common. I would recommend this car to anyone in need of a 4door sedan.

The first thing to know is they stop making Satan's. That makes parts difficult and expensive to get. Also, find the right mechanic and keep him. I had a lot of mechanical issues, but when all was fixed, it ran like a champ. The comfort and performance were top of the line.

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

I have owned Saabs my entire life, this being the first "GM" saab. I am pleasantly surprised with the ride/seat comfort on long trips. The handling on the Aero is much better than that of a standard 9-5 turbo that I have driven. And the sound system is amazing. Only thing I do not like is the small amount of storage space. Overall, I am very happy with the car.
Fun Toy

Exhillarating (yet quiet) 4 CYL. Sport button coverts this into a fun toy. Build quality could be improved (cheap looking heated seat controls and open/close vent thingys). Stereo is very good. For a car build for Northern Europe, it handles quite lousily in snow. The winter setting doesn't actually do a whole lot of good. Certainly would not recommend it as an only car if snow and hills feature in your life.
