I purchased my 2006 9-5 with end of year incentives. We already had a Saab 9-3 in the family which we like a lot. I'm very happy stepping up to the 9-5. Similiar understated luxury but with better interior quality and design. I now have 10,000 miles and zero problems. The 9-5 may not be the most modern car on the road but I think the long production run has given Saab a chance to refine the platform and fix a lot of early production issues. Despite some GM parts, the 9-5 still has lots of Saab feel and luckily manages to NOT feel like any GM vehicle that I've ever driven.
Great car

This is my second Saab 9-5 Aero (previous was a 2003). I like the new materials used inside the cabin. Finally, standard XM radio/CD changer. The changes on the outside look great also. My previous 9-5 was great, never any problems. I'm expecting this one to be just a good.

I just put my first 1000 miles on the new 9-5, having recently turned in a 2003 9-5 Arc with 50,000 miles, (flawless mechanical record). Good news is that the car is largely unchanged in handling and ride. Braking and headlights are superior. Yet the 2.3L four is much rougher than the old V-6, with noticable turbo-lag and torque steer. The updated dash is improved, but Saab uses cheaper materials inside, below prior quality. Seating remains the same- comfortable;and ventilation has improved. Overall, the car like previous 9-5s seems at its best cruising at higher speeds, and on extended highway drives, resulting in a smooth, safe and secure ride with performance and comfort.
Surprisingly Fun

I test drove BMWs, Volkswagen, and Mercedes, but leased the Saab 2006, sports with 5 speed manual. The competition is more refined in most areas, but cant compete with the overall value (at least $100 less per month than competition). I preferred the manual to the automatic version of 9-5 Saab, as the manual is more in tune with the road, with less front torque pull. It is surprisingly fun to drive, even when compared to comparable competition, even if not as powerful. The seats are probably better than competition. Additionally, XM is a pleasure. Rated very high for safety.

I love this car. It is unique in all respects. The fit and finish equals or exceeds other premium German or Japanese cars. It's safe, economical and contemporary.
