2002 Saab 9-5 Aero review
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.
Great Certified Value
Just had the car a few days - and look forward to driving it everytime I have the chance. The interior is wonderfully done - comfortable, but sporty. When the car is in "Sport" mode - it can run with any car on the highay - bar none. In normal mode - it's almost too tame, but I guess that's how you get 30 mpg and 250 hp in the same package. The car is certainly a beautiful car to behold - great shape and wonderfully engineered styling. When coupled with the interior - it's a great all around package. The best part is probably the fact you can get a certified luxury car, (to 100K), for under $20K. A great buy.

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.
Great car!!!
My 02 Aero has 95k miles and still drives and looks like new! Saabs do require some extra care in terms of maintenance and do have some glitches, but no serious defects. The car is a blast to drive, handles great, has great steering and all that power and pickup, even at highway speeds!!! Still get great gas mileage. Smooth and quiet ride like no other car with similar performance. The interior is as good and even better than most luxury brands, it has the best seats I've ever sat in! It is also one of the few cars remaining that has a distinctive look.
The car that makes me happy
Saab 9-5 Aero is a car that does everything very well that you'd expect from a near luxury vehicle. On top of it, the extra oomph can be effortlessly delivered by just pressing the gas pedal harder. The manual transmission might be a little tricky to master for some at first, but I was able to read it right away and I still enjoy using it. If they're brand new they may be a tad expensive but it makes a great slightly used car at a great price.
