Saab has become very hostile to its customers on warranty issues. The rudeness extends to corporate level. My longtime Saab loyalty is OVER!

Luxury & Reliability = Awesome

The 9-5 Arc has a 3.0. It doesn't exhibit turbo lag at low speeds. What it lacks in a sport suspension is made up for in superior ride comfort. You no longer have to feel every pot hole. For $38,000 you can't buy a roomier, faster, more functional mid-luxury vehicle. The 9-5Arc comes loaded with standard features that would be pricey options with any other maker. How many under $40,000 sedans do you know that come standard with heated and air conditioned front seats, assymetrical turbo and Harmon Kardon sound system? How many of them hold the world's highest safety ratings? Let me know. Then we can talk about your 6.7 rating.

Pefect!The Saab 9-5 is comfortable, convenient and enjoyable to drive around town and on the open road. Clever ergonomic solutions, like seats with fans, an aircraft-style map light,roomy cargo area with a perfectly flat floor,with its high-output turbocharged engine, puts a lot of power under the pedal for quick throttle response at highway speeds!

Balance of Comfort and Performance

It's a great car, with the right balance of comfort, performance and economy. Its aethetics are hard to beat, inside and out. It has a comfortable rear seat, adequate for 3 adults, perfect for 2 and my 3 kids. I can get 4 ice hockey bags in the trunk, 2 adults and 2 kids. With the AT in SPORT mode, the car plain out hauls, as it does in MANUAL mode (but MANUAL mode can be awkward.) In DRIVE mode, it performs well, at the rate of 28+ mpg. Needless to say, I highly recommend it.
