Love the Saab!

Haven't had the car long but it sure is impressive so far. I am so tired of the heavy feeling in many vehicles and I love the way this car combines power with a light feeling. This car doesn't need a long runway. It is difficult to find a vehicle that is fun to drive around town but also is a pleasure as a touring sedan. This car appears to be good at both. I will have a better idea when I take a 1600 mile road trip in a couple of weeks.

Brisk acceleration and very fun to drive especially on the highway. Spacious midsize sedan that seats four adults comfortably with a huge trunk, sporty design and feel, and thumping sounding stereo system. When the transmission is shifted to the "sport" mode, the fun meter goes up. With the large oversized gripping Pirelli's, the front end steering torque is definitely noticeable.

Not just another car.

This is the second Saab in my family. It's a 2007 sedan and son drives it at college. I feel like this is a perfect car for him. Saab is well known for safety and he is proud to drive something different from everybody else. We found it used with 78k miles for $3800. Not bad at all. I refreshed it with a long list of things that need to be replaced with age and I feel confident he will get many years out of it. It is important to know parts are getting hard to find and always get high quality parts (original). You should expect to order everything online. Don't expect a local place to even have simple things like hoses. You should also be the type of person who can do your own repairs otherwise this could cost you a fortune at a shop. They aren't hard to work on and the internet is full of help.

Great highway cruiser and the new suspension is very adept in corners. Compares in price to the 300 bmw series, but is larger. I've enjoyed the sport-tuned suspension. Saab owners are used to the higher power band, so no biggie that first gear isn't much. It's a thriller to drive and own. I've enjoyed it and it's surprisingly practical. I have lots of warranty protection, but this build quality is much better than my 96 900SE. No hint of any probs yet. Realistically to get a car 4 people could fit in would cost me $45,000- 50,000 after options.

07 Saab 95 Aero. I've had it for a year, fixed the little issues that it came with and so far so good. It's all about the maintenance. Pleasure to drive especially on winding roads, handles like a sports car, tight and precise. Would recommend and become part of the Saab world.
