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.
Fast comfortable sedan

Just bought this 2002 Saab 9-5 Aero sedan. Went with the 5-speed manual. This car is very, very fast at cruising speeds and is the perfect highway passing vehicle. Torque steer and turbo lag are noticeable when driving around town. I really like the Xenons as this is my first car with that type of lighting. As an engineer, I am attracted to the engine technology; 250hp/258lb-ft is mighty impressive from 2.3 liters of displacement. Furthermore, the engine management and gearing allow me to get great gas mileage. Also, I wanted something that you don't see everyday, so the Saab is way cooler than a 330i (for example) in that respect. Overall, I am very happy.

This is my third Saab, and it has been a blast to drive since I bought it as a dealer demo in '03. No problems whatsoever. The trunk is not quite as cavernous as my previous 9000 hatchback, but that's a small quibble.

This has to be the craziest love/hate relationship I've ever had with a car. One day I hated it, the next day I loved it. This car has a ton of power for a 4-banger and it was a total hoot to drive. It handled corners extremely well with very little body lean, was incredibly quick, roomy, huge trunk, responsive, and got very good gas mileage for a car of this size. I enjoyed this car tremendously. This was my 2nd 9-5 so that tells you something about my love for car. The Aero is pavement hungry & the conservative sport sedan look is very deceptive - cop magnet, be careful!
good alternative

Fast acceleration, great passing ability at mid to high speed, great handling (considering its size and weight), and great torque at low RPM. I feel that I am driving a compact car than a midsize sedan. As a running machine, Saab 9-5 Aero is an excellent one, a great alternative to BMW 5 series, Volvo S60. For 2002 Model year, Saab 9-5 is competitive feature wise. However, it is aging fast compare to others in 2003 or later model years.
