Since Saab was running 0% financing, I figured I would check it out. My friends have had Saabs and loved them, so I figured a test drive would not hurt. The dealer only had one Aero '03 on the show room, but there was a left over '02 that they had not sold. The car looks great and really stands out in the sea of Bimmers, Benz's, and Audi's. I was plesantly surprised by the acceleration, handling and interior room. Needless to say, I got a deal that I could not refuse. Great combination of sports car and luxury cruiser!
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.

Best Value in a "Driver's Car"

Considered several cars, including VW Passat, BM 3 and Z Series, a slightly used 540i, and looked real hard at a G35 Infinity. Using the 540i as the "Benchmark", I thought the Aero was closer than anything available for under $40,000. The suspension damping was superior. The Infinity's sport suspenders were too stiff and standard was too soft. The Aero was in between, and therefore correct. Plus, I really wanted a 5-speed. What is shocking is that magazines never write about this car, which works as a real advantage come negotiation time. All in all, very satisfied.
Had one in '73.

Drove one, rental vehicle in Sverige (Sweden) in 2000. Had a stick. Drove 2,000 US miles in Sweden. Loved the car. And this 2002 9-5 Aero is so much nicer. Buy/lease it. No, I dont't work for Saab/GM. Go for it. You get LOTS for LESS.
Great high mileage car

Purchased new and 40k miles per year average. 28-ish MPG highway (I drive fast). I've had no repairs except something in front suspension. Have followed Saab's maintenance schedule. Still runs like new. Aero with manual tranny.
