My 3rd Saab

Previously owned a 9-5 3.0 6 cyl. and a 2.3t 4 cyl. Loved driving both, appreciated the Saab quirks, but thought I would never own another after the bankruptcy. Found a 2011 Turbo 4 BioPower with 110k for less than $6k and took a chance. Lovely car -sleek, athletic profile. Have driven approx. 2k miles. No complaints thus far. Planning a long trip using E85 to test the purported increase in horsepower.

I picked up my 2010 Aero this week, having shopped against the BMW 535 and the A6 Quattro. It really drives well, with mgreat usable power and roadholding. It is not only better equipped than teh competition, but also larger and and MUCH less expensivey moves quickly and holds the road incredibly well. It is larger inside, totally loaded and MUCH less expensive than the competition.

Great Car, do not forget the spare tire

So far so great. My third 95. Make sure you negotiate the spare tire before you purchase the car. I forgot to do so and now my dealer is trying to nail me for almost $600.00 for something that is not worth more than $250.00. Otherwise, much more impressive than earlier models.

If considering this car, it may be one of the best cars Saab produced in its last 30 years. Few were produced and fewer still were exported to the US. It’s not for everyone, there are very limited parts, no dealers left, and certain features only a true Saab-phile will appreciate. Probably not a car for a first time Saab owner, but a GREAT one for a Saab devotee.
