Used 2003 Saab 9-5 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Excellent car
I just purchased a 2002 Saab 9-5 Aero. This is the most amazing car I have driven. At speeds approaching 90MPH it is as smooth as lower speeds (and I'm sure it could do more). The car handles extremely well and offers a smooth ride. The interior is uncluttered but has all of the features you could want, and a few more you didn't know you needed! This car looks and feels like a true luxury car.
Why do I still Like this car?
Bought the Linear model new but at a deep discount ($30k). Have had the typical failures -- fuel pump, heater valve, ignition cartridge, sunroof, and most recently the brake booster. Repairs are crazy expensive, and I've spent way too much on them. But then I get behind the wheel and realize I really like the driving experience. Fuel economy is great, and the turbo is there when you need some punch. It's a great travel car, and the trunk is spacious. One of my criteria was "4 men and 4 sets of golf clubs". It works.

Saab?
I had never thought about a Saab. I'm glad I did. The interior is excellent. The ride is outstanding. Get a 5 speed. It makes it much more fun to drive. I drove a Passat, and it is no match. Try to buy one soon. The incentive program was a big reason I have one in the garage. The Harmon Kardon stereo is great. I usually replace the stereo in all the new cars I buy, but not this one. Get the upgrade package. It's worth the dough. It's a sweet ride.
Affordable luxury
I've been very impressed with my 9-5 Linear with automatic transmission. There is plenty of power and luxury with great gas mileage to boot. I've always owned larger luxury; i.e. Mercedes 300SE, Cadillac Sedan DeVille, Lincoln Town Car, but I am forever out of that class of vehicle since buying by 9-5. THe interior is very roomy and wonderfully engineered. The quiet ride rivals the large luxury sedans I've mentioned.
big bang for the dollars 95 aero
having tested many european cars for around 40,000 grants, nothing compares with the over all value that saab offers for that kind of money, as far as reliability...remains to be seen ..truly one of the most beautiful car. as far as pure driving pleasure, no motor car is going to defeat bmw, but for 8 grants less then the slower 530i....hey, ...
