Used 2009 Saab 9-7X SUV Consumer Reviews
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.
Too Much GM; Not Enough Saab
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.
