Happy Driver of this 6000 lb'er

The primary motivation for this end of year purchase was that it met certain tax write-off requirements of 6000lbs. We were considering the RX330 from Lexus pretty seriously, but it wasn't heavy enough. We're more than satisfied with the power and ruggedness of the drivetrain. We haven't had it in the mud yet, but hope to see some late-season (calif) skiing. The vehicle turns a lot of heads and generates much interest in a sea of BMW X5's, Lexus and Navigators from people who are amazed that it is a Saab. The cons: Gas mileage is below average at about 14MPG. But hey, we can tow a boat or trailor. Fit and finish were a little rough on the interior, but I'm a detail guy.
Maybe a little too much GM influenece

Having owned a number of Saabs, you appreciate the quality that goes into the design characteristics of their autos. Overall the 9-7 a nice SUV, but having driven the vehicle for a few weeks, you notice the subtle GM influences through out both the interior & exterior. Kind of cheapens the SAAB name in my opinion. Many components have GM written all over it, but SAAB was able to enhance the vehicle just enough to make it enjoyable to drive.

Saab really made a great SUV. I feel it compares favorably to the XC 90, the X5, and the Touareg (all fine SUVs). The 9-7X offers the same features, with 18 inch wheels and more horsepower for at least $5K less than the others similarly equipped.
Terribly disappointed

I have been a Saab fan for years and have really never heard anything bad said about them. I bought mine used in June, 2009. It only had 38,000 miles on it. I had it in the service repair shop 4 times in the first month of ownership. Twice for suspension problems and twice for door seals. The suspension seems to be ok now but the seals obviously are not. It still sounds like the windows are down when riding above 45mph. The MPG is HORRIBLE! It gets 12, sometimes 13 MPG around town (not heavy traffic either). It has only gotten 16 on the highway. I will not fault Saab. I fault GM for trying to tweak a normal American SUV into a Saab. Maybe I just got a bad one.
Good Car for the Price

It has good acceleration, handles well on corners, fuel economy could be better, it's hard not to push the gas pedal. It comes loaded with a lot of features, overall a satisfied customer. Looking forward to driving it in the snow.
