Awesome car. After a few trips to the dealer for some very minor things, the Saab is great. My service is awesome. Driving the Saab is a great experiance. It is a highway car though. Sways in tight turns. But on the highway look out. Nothing but pure power.

I drive over 65,000 miles per year, mostly highway, and this is the best road car made--superb handling, braking, acceleration (turbo), amazing gas mileage (31+), comfortable heated seats, auto climate control, the best sound system I've heard, and air bags in side doors as well as front. I've got two other Saabs (900S)with over 400.000 miles as well as a 1999 Saab 9-5 with 168,000 miles. These cars are made to last, the 4 cylinder engine is the best ever made and the body and paint are very durable. What more could one want?

Had an '01 and '02 9-5 Aero. This is my third Saab. Was a little nervous about stepping down in power and style, but found this car to be better balanced than the Aero. The lighter pressure turbo is smoother and the handling is much more predictable (the Aero model needs bigger sway bars and is skittish at edge of adhesion). This car is much more comfortable but still has me grinning when I want to drive at a good clip! I have not had ANY problems with ANY of my Saabs.

This is a great car! Plenty of power and it sips gas. The rear seat is one of only a few cars that has a comfortable seating position. What more could you want from a sport sedan.

I love my Saab

I purchased this Saab almost two months ago, after owning luxury SUVs (Lndcruisers) for years. I could not be happier. I made the choice when I purchased a used Saab for my son as a graduation present, Driving and riding in it, I realized what a great car this was. So, I made the move away from the big (politically irresponsible)SUV, to this grand, luxry sedan.
