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.

The combination of fuel economy and performance is unequalled in its competitors. Saab's turbocharged engine deliver smooth performance through the fulll power band. With rising fuel costs, I'm gonna be thankful I have a four-banger!

OMG, what a piece of junk. Bought with 40K miles on it and had the check engine light go on after about 3 months. Cost $2,100 to fix it. Nice. Then the grill flew off as I was driving down the highway. Then it began leaking antifreeze like a sieve. Another $400 fix. I have had enough and will never ever buy a Saab again! Traded that sucka in today for a Lexus and am now super happy.
