2nd look at Saab 9-7x

I am happy with my purchase of the 9-7X. I love the ride, handling, power (V8) and the interior and exterior appearance . For the money the 9-7X is the best buy. You get loads of standard equipment that you will really use in your day to day driving and not standard equipment that you will never use like off road package. There were only two options (Nav and DVD entertainment) for the 5.3i which i got and just love. Also, the optional 18 inch Brightly Polished split 6 spoke rims are beautiful. these rims make the vehicle look even sexier. Saab did an excellent job on these rims. Good job to the Saab engineers for really making an enjoyable SUV!

The car has a smooth ride. I have not seen anyone down here in the Rio Grande Valley with one. So it's fun to see people stare at it when I drive. The car is perfect for my son and I. I've really enjoyed it.

Beautiful SUV inside and out. Saab did an outstanding job of "Saabifiying" this vehicle. I had a Trailblazer as a rental for a week before I bought my 97x and the difference between the way the two drive is quite remarkable. It really does have more responsive handling and a very european feel.

Ok, so it's a GM deep down ... once you get over that you'll see how fun it is to drive. The suspension is tight (I used to drive a G35 - hard - and I honestly don't miss it). The AWD is a treat. It has every bell and whistle you can ask for. I used to own an '01 Aurora and I must say this is not far from it. The fuel (in)efficiency is a total drag but it wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the ridiculously high cost of gas. Acceleration is great but with a 4-speed transmission you can't wait till the last minute (the computer does predictive shifting for the overdrive). Only a couple of fit/finish issues.

Very happy with this luxury SUV. Bought it used. Added Techron fuel system cleaner and got 2 MPG better than before. To connect my iPod, I had an iSimple installed to the existing Bose system. Works and sounds great! Stock tires don't work well in snow, so I put on Hancook Icebears and now can go thru anything and do not give up much on dry roads. Fuel economy suffers from the 3.73 differentials versus the 3.45 on GM cousins, but low gears do improve the get up and go. With 277 lb-ft of torque, they could have made the down shift from 4th to 3rd later. This thing spends more time in 3rd gear than our Pontiac Vibe.
