Used 2003 Saab 9-5 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Good could be better
The car is extremely comfortable, especially if you have long legs. The engine has plenty of power but sometimes there is a turbo lag and sometimes there is no lag, making it not reliable when accelerating to pass: will it kick right-away???
Think Twice
This is a nice car but I would think twice about buying one used. I have found myself back at the dealer getting minor repairs countless times. And the minor problems always seem to stop the car from running i.e., I need a tow. If you're looking for a reliable used luxury car, this probably isn't the one.

9-5 Fun to drive
This is the second 9-5 for me, having bought another (V-6 SE) just 2 years ago. Fun to drive, excellent value (at year-end closeout) including scheduled maintenance, gap insurance and first year of OnStar free. What more could you ask for in a well-engineered car!
Tow after Tow after Tow after Tow
I had purchased this vehicle not even 2 weeks and it died on me. I had bought it with about 57K miles, and two weeks later on the way to a mini vacation it leaves me stranded in the middle of the freeway. I took it back to the selling dealer and also their Saab dealer and they slapped the machine on it and "Nothing is wrong with it, it drives like a champ." Again it had just died as i was accelerating through town, and then my speed gauge gradually goes down once again! On my way back from work on the freeway it died again! DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL. By the way i failed to mention i had to waste my money towing this vehicle every single time it died on me. STAY AWAY!
Saab Linear - Nice for the price
We got our 9-5 sedan and drove it to Canada for vacation. Nice and smooth ride. Very stable at high speeds (80+).
