What a Ride!

I bought this car one month ago and have had a superior experience so far. My concern with imports such as this is repair cost, and Saab has covered that with a 100,000 mile/3 year warranty. One test drive and I was hooked. This car can move - 250 horses never felt so good - there is a lag in the turbo, but in sport mode that is taken care of for the most part. Ride is smooth and as safe as they come. Seats are ultra comfortable. My only regret is having waited so long to take the plunge with this vehicle. Price is right especially compared to others in this "class", with none of the repair concerns because of the warranty, which does not cost more like it does for the Maxima.

Best luxury car for the money. This car is a blast to drive. Have not had to take it back to the dealership for any problems after a year of driving. The car still amazes me every time I drive it. The turbo is incredible, the gas mileage fantastic, and those seats are so comfortable. This car corners like it is on rails. I had a BMW 7 series try to stay up with me on a on ramp to the freeway: I flat blew him away. The passing acceleration is among the best of any car that I have ever driven.

All good but for the little glitches

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

My wife bought this car on ebay. I was initially skeptical and nervous about the higher cost of repair, but this car is very fun to drive and the swedish styling and lux features are hard to beat (especially for the price). The repair bills can be a bit high, but normal for this class. Nothing major has gone wrong though and I can live with a broken sunroof, no backup alarm battery, the cup holder issue, 1 busted seat heater cause ultimately I really like being in this car.

Bought the 9 5 Arc w/ touring package at used w/ 4,800 miles. only 28K. Outstanding car. Love the sport mode and sound system. Trunk space is a huge plus. Plenty of room throughout. Great standard features and w/ two kids under 5, safety should always be considered.

Traded in my 2000 A6 after a year of staring at the check engine light. I previously owned a 2001 9-5 v6 which I enjoyed, I like this a lot more. Overall best bang for the buck, fast, comfortable, nice ride, and good gas mileage. I recently took it on a 2000 mi trip, at 70-75 mph I averaged 32.5 mpg!! I always look foward to driving this car.
