Used 2006 Saab 9-5 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Great Car
Traded in our 00' 9-5. Very fun car to drive. We drove competitors and found the Saab to be the best car for the price.
More rattles than a box of biscuits
Lovely car for the price but unfortunately I bought it new and could not get much of a deal. I am a slender 170lbs yet the cushion bottom on my leather ventilated sport-seats has gone nearly flat and I am sitting on the frame. Dealership said they fixed it by putting a new one in (and billing Saab no doubt) but I believe they simply turned it over and puffed it out. Bad for the back - and that is one of the reasons I bought my second Saab 9-5. The rattles on this car KILL me. The plastics are low-grade economy plastics and there are more rattles in this new design than there were in the older vehicle. These new vintages suffer from shoddier plastics--Saab says 1 yr on rattles-bs!

Bank Vault
I feel safe in my Saab. The 9-5 has rated tops in safety in the real world since intro. I don't know what they mean when they say turbo lag. I remove foot from brake, nail it, the tires chirp and traction control kicks in. How does a 3600 lb 4 cyl automatic do that with turbo lag? 0-60 in under 7! Very comfortable to drive.
Love my 1st Saab
After 30 years of driving only BMWs, I leased a Saab 9-5 to save about $240.00 per month. I am amazed at how much I truly enjoy this car. The interior ergonomics are great as is the sound system.
Old Design, But Still Works
Bought this vehicle used. Was a GMAC off lease vehicle with only 23,000 miles. Love that I don't see many on the road. I understand that this car is basically the same as it was 10 years ago, but it is fun to drive and feels very solid and still looks modern. It's too bad SAAB is in so much financial trouble. I believe had they priced their vehicles more in the VW range instead of the BMW range they would have sold in much greater numbers and turned a profit.
