Love My Saab 9-7x

Home run, it's a great SUV! The interior is very quiet and the Bose system is excellent. The ride is smooth and the vehicle hugs the road/curves with stability and comfort. I love the styling - understated but elegant! The seats are very comfortable and I really enjoy driving this vehicle.

What a dream!

My Saab SUV is incredibly comfortable, sporty, and fun to drive, and I find myself looking forward to using it everyday. The GM SUV platform may actually give this car greater reliability over its Swedish born sedan cousins, but I suppose time will tell. Furthermore, I really enjoy having an unusual SUV, one that you don't see everyday. My summary impression of this Saab is that it is underrated and represents a terrific bargain in the used car market.

The thing is a rocket when it is running but it breaks on a regular basis. In for repairs more than using it.

"Garage Queen"

I have owned, and loved, 3 previous SAABs, but this one is a major disappointment. I purchased this so that the tall men in my life would no longer have to leave their knees at home when we go on a trip. The space is great and comfy, DVD and multi-CD players are sweet, and the on-board air-compressor is a great asset. BUT, it is sluggish when going uphill (diesel-pushers cruise past us), has had multiple major issues, and spends more time in the dealership garage than on the road with me. Gas mileage is about the same as my Suburban. This 9-7X has cost me so much time and money. I can hardly wait to trade it in!

A GM with a touch of Saab

It's good, not great. Lacking in some of the finer points that most near luxury SUVs have. Power lift gate would have been nice. Even a stereo that looks like it didn't come out of a Mack truck would be good. And no aux jack, how?
