My fifth one, and the best one

This is my fifth 9-5 and I think it's the best one I've owned. I have always loved the comfortable seats, the well-designed dash and the rather eccentric turbo engine, but the new one finally has satellite radio, a cd changer, and tons of power. It's comfortable on long drives and still has room for four or five people and their luggage. And while newer designs may offer more toys, they come at a price.

This is my 3rd Saab 9-5 and they continue to impress with strong performance, very reliable, and excellent fuel mileage. Seats are extremely supportive and build quality has been very good. It's always interesting when you read the automotive reviews the Saab 9-5 is rated significantly below the competition. But when you drive the car it proves to be quite comfortable and with 260 HP certainly competitive with today's competition. The turbo is a completely different driving experience and makes the vehicle fun to drive. Fuel mileage at 22 mpg around town and 32+ on the highways makes the 4 cylinder an excellent choice with today's high cost of fuel.

I am extremely pleased with my new 2008 Saab 9-5. With all of the rebates that GM is currently offering on new 2008's and a little negotiation, I was able to snag mine for under $24k, which is a STEAL for a car like this. After driving this car for a month, I couldn't be happier. The 260hp turbo engine makes highway driving a blast, and the car handles very nicely in town. I can understand the harsh reviews given a $40k msrp and the quality of interior materials for a car in this price range, but for $24k I think you'd be hard-pressed to find fault.

9-5, nice

The 9-5 is a roomy sedan, with a comfortable ride. A lot of the features of a much more expensive car. Silver snow metallic paint in conjunction with wheels looks sharp. Nice car.

A distinct vehicle

Totally enjoy the vehicle after going through two BMWs. The handling is terrific and I am totally surprised at the mileage - 21 city and 30 to 33 on highway. It has more than adequate power and rides nicely. Could improve on the cup holder. Add one. A distinct looking vehicle, particularly in black.
