Stay away from this junk. A $40,000 dollars car that has 11,000 miles has been in the shop 13 times for different repairs. The latest one - transmission failed!!!. The dealer will have to install a brand new transmission after only 11,000 miles. I would not come even close to another Saab car.

The last of the current Saab models thatactually has that 'Saab look.' A unique car that you don't see dozens of while driving. Sturdy build, fun to drive,with lots o' space.
What more could you want?

This car is tough to beat. It is so fun to drive, even with the automatic. The torque just keeps coming, even when doing 70mph or more! Add to this the fact that it has more room, is more practical, and safer than almost anything out there in the price range. I can't say enough great things about this car.
Awesome Car

I have owned a few BMWs and always thought they are the best cars on the road. This Saab compares - it rides just as well and is just as fast with much better gas mileage.

I was put-off by an older 9000 I owned before but was impressed the moment I got behind the wheel. Purchased this instead of a BMW wagon because of better interior space, much better mileage and impressive power.
Fabulous

I just love this car. It's the most comfortable and responsive car I've owned since my BMW 5 series about 10 years ago. I've owned many cars of many different shapes and sizes and am happy to get in it every morning and every evening. If you're considering an Aero and you can get a good price, grab it. You won't be sorry.
Pleased with Saab 9-5 Aero wagon

The car has been very comfortable and fun to drive. This is the most horse power I have had, felt I had power to maneuver when needed in traffic. Gas economy is good for size of car it is. When I have had passengers with me they have always commented what a nice ride they are having. I agree that back seat is just about as comfortable as the front and plenty of leg room. I think you get a great value for the money. Have had 2 minor recall issues I have had to get fixed. One complaint is that covered maintenance is only at 5k, 15k, 30k and 45k. Oil changes between every 5k are not covered.

1st experience driving a Saab. Fun to drive, gets up and goes with great handling, comfortable driving, very reliable, Saab design lives up to its crash testing superiority as a safe car. Wife just got in a 50mph head on, everyone ok. I'm buying another without hesitation!!Great car.
underated fun and luxury

overall satisfied with performance and build quality..however it is extremely uncmforable for a tall person to enter and exit the vehicle without rubbing the head on the top of the door jam
