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

An affordable, large car with athletic style and european ride and handling. I like that 4 people can ride in comfort (including the driver and one behind). Car is responsive (though more so in sport mode) and handles well.

2002 9-5t - Owner Review

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

I spend a great deal of time in my car - average 30,000+ miles per year. It's comfortable, fun to drive, and gets great gas mileage (about 27.5 - 28 mpg, if I stay out of the turbo charger!). Solid performance, sticks to the road nicely -- I love the Michelin Pilot Sport tires (just bought another set for it). I've had only one bad experience with my car (related to a recall on the headlamp assemblies that was not completed correctly - some difficulty with a dealer - but the factory eventually responded to my call and took care of the issue.

I got the 9-5 Linear with the performance package. The car has just the right combination of comfort and performance. The car rides like it's on rails at 80 mph - and you're just a tap away from triple digits. Sound system (harmon kardon 200 watt) gives deep stomach bouncing bass. Quiet ride. Could have spent much more for as good of a ride.

I really enjoy driving and looking at my Saab. This is the 3rd Saab I've had and they all have the same characteristics--fun to drive, very many safety features, great versatility, but many mechanical problems. I have 103,000 miles and I've had to replace the brakes twice, replaced the head gasket, bad thermostat, computerized problems that I don't understand.
