Purchased in May of 2006 w/36,000 mi. on the clock, paid $19,500. Current mileage 65,800 mi. Wanted to love this car but it has been in the shop more than any other car I have owned, 7 or 8 times in the 2 1/2 years I have owned her. The interior could use an update, but the seats are super comfy. I really like the exterior of the car, looks fast standing still. Gas mileage in town is poor for a 4 cyl., only about 17 mpg due to the turbo but hwy mileage is surprisingly good at about 31 mpg. Just too many little things. Warranty ran out in Sept. and just today I spent $1800 on repairs and the 60,000 mile service. Sad to say she will probably get traded in soon.
Awesome, Unique, Fast

I had this car for 3 months now and I am very, very happy. It is fast and people notice it because it is unique. The transmission is smooth and interior is very cool.

I previously drove a 1988 SAAB 9000T, and I'm delighted that this new SAAB lives up to the SAAB standards for safety, performance, efficiency, and comfort. The Aero variant is perhaps the best- kept secret in the automotive universe; its 0-60 time of 6.5 sec and top speed of 155 mph outperforms most rivals, and it's extremely comfortable, as well. The 5-speed manual is superb; clutch effort is light, and the gearshift just falls into place during double-clutch downshifts... bravo! Torque steer is simply not an issue; there's none whatsoever. The car just pulls and pulls, even in the rain! Fantastic OEM Michelin Pilot Primacy tires.
No justice for one of the finests cars..

When the test drive of the Aero here in Mexico no vendor was at the time and one of the mechanics came with me. We both were atonished. Acceleration is incredible, handling in curves is equal to none and the ride quality, even with the tunned suspension, is absolut comfort. Also tested the 330iA. Just said, "..thanks, but I will have the Saab". Not many 9-5 (neither 9-3's) can be seen in Mexico, so this is realy a head turner. BMW's are now in every corner. What most impreses me is that Saab was not even in my third choice (also considered the A4 and Volvo S60) and almost got unnoticed, if not given the advise to test drive it by a friend.
Stunning Swede

My 'ferrari red' Saab Aero is simply stunning to look and to drive. Lots of power, especially the massive amounts of torque that makes driving this car seem effortless. Very quiet, smooth and stable all the way to 155+ mph. Handles like a sport coupe and has excellent brakes as well. Also the Aero is the most comfortable car I have driven, supremely comfortable seats! Lots of features unique in the industry and very rare!
