Saab Aerowagon Rocks!

So pleased with my Aerowagon - Coming from an 8 cylinder Lexus I was concerned about power and pickup - no problem here. Great accelaration, sporty, fun to drive - and practicle! I figure if I'm going to have a stationwagon, I'd like to have one that can move around those teen punks without any effort... And so much better mileage than a SUV. I'm doing my part to reduce dependence on Middle Eastern Oil... Great Car!

I find it hard to believe that there is an entire wagon behind me when I drive! It is so much fun and tons of space! I have had NO problems at all in any way with this car...LOVE IT!

Who Thought A Wagon Could Be Such Fun

We were looking for a Wagon in 2003. Our initial choices were the Audi A6 and Volvo XC 70. Didn't think of Saab as we wanted AWD. However, with all its safety features, electronic stability protection, Traction control etc, we don't miss not having AWD. We chose the Saab, and I think we made a great choice. This car is great fun to drive, reliable, spacious and comfortable. Fuel Economy is terrific, we get close to 25 mpg for city/highway combo driving. The seats are very comfortable, and the console display reminds you of a cockpit. Love the "cooled" seats - no need to sweat with leather seats in summer.

Our 2003 Saab 9-5 Arc wagon is a superb car to own and drive. Yes, there are a few Saab quirks to get over, but the pleasure of driving it far outweighs any minor nuisances. Ours is equipped with the Sentronic automatic transmission and performs very well. In "Sport" mode the transmission responds very quickly, especially out of 1st gear and is like IRL's "push to pass" button. The interior is quiet and comfortable. The wagon has great cargo room and our 2 dogs love it back there. With a baby on the way, it's a very sensible and responsible purchase, with much better gas mileage than our neighbors' SUVs. This is our 4th Saab, and we'll be back to the well again in a few years.
