I bought a Saab two years ago, at the beginning, has some mechanical issues, because the lastest owners, but, when I got fixed, I get surprised how powerful is the engine, also, the interior is pretty comfortable.

You will not see many SAAB 9-7X on the road. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view. With two weeks I have had my vehicle in the shop twice. Hmm. I have a wait and see attitude. What will be the next thing that have me back at the shop.

Too Much GM; Not Enough Saab

2009 Saab 9-7X 5.3i 4dr SUV AWD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Bought this car used, but with about !0K remaining on the warranty. At 80K miles many problems surfaced, including catalytic converter, power window motors, anti-lock brake control, and others, but the last straw was an engine (5.3L V-8) valve failure that cost over 2K to repair, Put up with all of this because I've had (original) Saabs in the past without these problems, but finally had to let it go! Traded it for a 2008 (yes older) Lexus RX330, which is still running at 180K miles.

A disappointment

Bought used with 22k in 2012. Just traded in on new truck (NOT GM). Very fun to drive, great suspension, great A/C, brakes last until 110k, rare (saw 5 others in 7 years), nice seats, drives like a truck. The bad- 15.7 mpg, lots of repairs (motor for AWD, exhaust manifold, full of electrical gremlins), depreciation. It was definitely not the best. Had a lot of promise but quality issues could not be overlooked. I don’t think I can ever buy another GM vehicle. Three bad ones in a row- 1999 Regal, 2004 GMC Sierra, and the 2009 Saab. Sticking with Honda, Toyota, and Nissan (trucks only) from now on.

I am over 6 ft and this car fits my style perfectly, head room, leg room great. I had considered the Mercedes SUV but glad I changed my mind and thought about the Saab ingenuity. Love the way it drives and handles. It is a statement SUV despite the connection with GM.
