I admit it; they had me at 'Welcome.' I was captivated by a marketing campaign aimed at winning buyers from new, diverse demographics. To my own credit, I still did my homework and heavily researched several other vehicles. I read endless consumer guides and reviews, online and in print, that covered everything about these cars from environmental ratings to crash test results to resale values and more. In the end, spreadsheet in-hand, I test drove the Audi A4, the BMW 3 series, the Volvo S60, saving the Saab 9-[3] [my pre test drive pick]. Then, at the showroom, I was again captivated. This time by a sexy, black 9-5 Aero Sedan. For fun, I decided to test it. They had me at 9/10's of a mile.

I like the Saab the more I drive it. The suspension/engine combination is very responsive and the 5 speed is excellent. It is a great sport wagon.

Best Wagon I've Owned

2004 Saab 9-5 Arc 2.3T 4dr Sport Wagon (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

I bought this wagon to replace my 9-3 which had almost 200k on it. I was really dissapointed that SAAB stopped making a hatchback, so I looked at the 9-5 wagon. I don't think I've ever liked a car more. It's comfortable, civilized, great ride - smooth without feeling mushy and give you a real sense of security. Considering the size and power a steady 25mpg in mixed driving is great. I've gotten low 30's on road trips.
