Having purchased this car in Germany just before returning to the US for a new job, I was worried about having it delivered to an unfamiliar dealership. My worries were unfounded as I have continued to have the car (as well as my older '98) serviced and maintained at the dealership and have been very satisfied.

I bought my 95-Aero wagon new in 2004 and have no plans to replace it. Sweet Harmon-Kardon sound system, serious acceleration and cornering control, lots of room, excellent climate control, comfy (heated) seats, 29-30 MPG on trips (at 150K miles!), and a body solid enough to carry a load of cabinetry lumber (or 4 kayaks) on removable Thule racks! Built by folks with a work ethic to make a safe & fun car that lasts. I will never buy a GM product after they destroyed SAAB.

My SAAB in Norway

I am now a 3-time SAAB owner. This time, I live in Norway. I clicked the Aero box because my Norway-model is closest to the Aero except for the engine. I have the sports-seats, automatic trans, metal dash, leather, and 17-inch wheels, BUT ONLY a 150- horsepower 2.0-turbo! Nonetheless, this power is all one needs here (and I'd say also in the US). The 9-5 is a great car, much peppier than my 1995 9000 US-export, which had a 2.3-turbo. The ride is much smoother than the 9000, and the feeling is more one of soft luxury, even though these SAABs are considered FAMILY CARS here in Norway and Sweden.
Beware of any computerized module

This is a great car and I love it to death. It's 2017 and my 2004 had 84k when I purchased the car. I had it checked and got the ok from my Saab mechanic. Now the bad- I have replaced every control module in the car at an average cost of 1500 dollars a pop for a total of about 6000. It's just like your technology at home, when it goes it goes and there is no way to detect when it will go bad. Your mechanic can check the mechanics etc... , but the modules are another story. I'm just saying if you buy one be prepared to spend money and enjoy the ride

Fun in 2nd gear

ok, this is a family station wagon, not a sports car. But when the turbo kicks in starting around 2500 rpm, usually in 2nd gear, you can have a lot of fun. Also, for all you SUV drivers out there. This has the storage you need but it gets 40 mpg on the highway.
