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

Drive alot each year. Bought certified preowned car--affordable comfortable, quality, intended to last a long time and endure incredible mileage. First Saab, love this car. Own a 2000 model 9.5 sedan. Still feels new. Impressed w/preowned program, gas mileage. Ride is wonderful, will move out when needed. Comfort and performance are key features. Love the way we were served at Moore (Richmond, VA) before and after purchase. Because of distance, Charlottesville provides service. Not quite Moore, but adequate. Would buy another Saab in a heartbeat.
Excellent 2004 Arc

I own a new 2004 9-5 Arc 2.3T with about 5,500 miles. The only problem was a rattle in one of the doors, fixed under warranty. The overall design is very good, and strikes a good balance between "sport" and "luxury." The car is loaded with thoughtful features, from the high- pressure headlight washers to the huge trunk. The turbocharged motor and 5-speed auto tranny work well together. Instruments are well laid-out and readable. Cabin is spacious and comfortable, but driver- oriented. Car handles well; suspension is forgiving, but tuned more towards comfort than performance. This is not a car you can fling around.

I just purchased my second Saab 9-5. This is a great car. I have ordered with the 5 speed manual transmisison. It's fun to drive. I always take the long route. There is more then enough power and the gas mileage is great. The cars are very reliable and Saab is a very customer friendy company. I recomend this car to anyone.

Saab has become very hostile to its customers on warranty issues. The rudeness extends to corporate level. My longtime Saab loyalty is OVER!
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.
Stay away - horrible piece of junk

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.
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.
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.

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
