My father is one of the designers of the F-14 and is astounded when I tell him how badly this car performs.The jerk-feel when shifting gears.The ridiculous interior design with no space to put anything, the rear cargo space that does not lie flat with rear seats down. The terrible suspension, the inability to seal sound of air from inside car,the front bumper which popped off due to cheap plastic pins (bumpers cost min $1,250). The pulling out of alingment and told it's normal. Blindspots, backing up you can't see a thing! Needs sensors. My Saab had water leak inside of it from rain. The dealer found out why in a release from one of many Saab does not give to owners. I waited for this car. What a waste!
Aircraft engineers.. give me a break

I bought my Saab after waiting for a year. I thought it would be a great car. Was I wrong!. This car has been a bomb from the beginning. First my father was the project engineer on the F-14 from its inception So much for born from aircraft engineers.. he hates it. You should hear his comments. I bought it for its supposed sportiness, but I can get my 77 merc 280 sl convert to 80 without a glance and feel safe. This thing can barely hit 65 without me feeling like I'm pushing a tank... and all at an avg. 11.5 a gallon. Oh and 14.3 mpg on a long haul hwy drive.

Having owned 8 SAABs I bought the 9-7 because I needed the towing capacity of a larger vehicle. It's comfortable and can tow over 5000lbs but the drive train is truly dissapointing. MPG only averages 15 in mixed driving (approx half city/half highway). There is a noticable lag on acceleration from a stop, then it comes on all at once (are they trying to copy SAAB turbo lag??). The transmission shifts nervously in city driving, constantly fishing and clunking between gears. The engine and tranny combo remind me of a 60's Chevy pickup - completely unrefined. Wish I had bought the XC-90 instead.
very nice.

Recently purchased the Linear 97x. I've owned 5 SUV's since 1990 and this is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. The Saab looks great and after 1 month of ownership I have yet to see another one on the road. Handles like a european sedan and comes fully loaded ! XM, On-Star, premium leather, DVD, side impact air bags, all standard. Rides great, looks great and comes loaded. Look forward to next 100,000 miles.
Best Saab I've Owned

This is my fouth Saab (I also own a 2001 9-3 convertible) and this is the best one yet. While it may have more than its share of GM truck infused in it, Saab has made a very creative take on it, and you really don't know you're driving a truck. It rides higher than a car, but it's much easier to get into than the Volvo, Mercedes, or Land Rover SUVs. It also rides better and has more cargo room than the BMW. And it's thousands less than all of those. Even if you're considering an American SUV, check the Saab out and you'll be pleasantly surprised with its quality, impressive handling and performance, and individuality. The interior is worlds better than the Chevy and on par with luxury SUVs.
