I drive my 9000 Aero every day. I absolutly hated it at first but then it grew on me and now I average about 300 miles a week. It is so fun to drive and corners so well. I recommend this car to everyone. the one thing saab did right was build this car.

I bought this one used, with 80k on it, but full service rec's. Now has 130k and no mechanical problems other than one wheel bearing, and it gave plenty of notice. It has proven to be a jewel of a car - roomy, fast and very comfortable on road trips - with outstanding fuel economy (28-30 mpg). The headlights are awesome and will turn night into day on a lonely highway. I also have the factory Thule roof rack which goes on or off in 3 minutes, and I often carry bikes on trips to other states. With the hatchback, roomy trunk and roof rack, who needs an SUV? I have one, but I only use it for towing and hauling. A good car like this one is so much nicer.

I walked into the Saab dealership 8 years ago "just looking" at the 900 series. I test drove the 900 and then just as a comparison, test drove the 9000 and was sold immediately on the 9000. This car was used with 15,000 miles on it. The comfort, the feel, the sense of strength, performance (turbo) and the fact that you can fit a full size refridgerator in the back - sold me. I own the hatchback model and it is my sporty version of a wagon. I have not had any major problems with the car and it has just reached the 97,000 mile mark. I highly recommend this model.

Ultimately, this is a great car that I wish they would still make. I'm a commuting student, and this is really the perfect vehicle for me. Plenty of interior space and the performance blows my mind. Especially with the gas mileage- I can get it up to 33+ on long highway trips. If Saab wasn't bought out by GM we'd be seeing more of these cars around.
