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.

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.

PROS: Fun to drive, very good 6-speed manual transmission with better acceleration and fuel economy than the automatic, firm very comfortable seats, expansive rear seat legroom, durable high quality leather seating surfaces, standard panoramic sunroof and parking assist, excellent handling and short breaking distances, huge trunk, very quiet, most mechanical parts are shared with the 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse and are less expensive than Audi, BMW, or Mercedes-Benz parts, parchment beige interior feels light and airy. CONS: Body parts which are unique to the Saab 9-5 can be hard to come by and pricey, panoramic sunroof drain channels require annual cleaning, GM heated seats tend to fail, rear light bar may become inoperable - especially on vehicles that aren't garaged, rear tail lamps may overheat and fail - parts are very difficult to find, Saab part numbers may or may not match other GM part numbers, unlike 1st gen 9-5s, simulated walnut was substituted for real walnut.

3 years and 30000 flawless miles in my 9-5 Aero. No issues at all. Big fast and solid. Hate they went out of business, happy I bought this one. Of course for 40% off list price.

I am the original owner of 2011 9 5. I have had many saabs both 9 5's and 9 3's but this is my favorite model. However, the car is extremely expensive to maintain. In the last three years, I have spent over $30k on regular maintenance and repairs.
