2001 Saab 9-5 Aero Review
ProsEffortless turbo performance, comfort ConsNot got the image of German luxury cars

Nice Alternative To Bmw, Audi, Mercedes — Surprisingly quick for a big car and very comfortable for long distances. Mainly solid build let down by a couple of poor switches. Bit plain looking but I like the sleeper look. Very reliable, only ever serviced it and replaced a wheel bearing. Not really a rewarding drivers car but is fun scaring Porsches! Primary Use: Family transportation

New Second Saab — Recently acquired to replace an old Saab 900S hatchback. Very comfortable, lots of load space, performance good rather than great. Car is one owner with full saab service history. Its an Auto with leather, climate control etc. Condition is excellent for a 130,000 mile car which cost only £2100. Fuel consumption seems ok. | ||

Great Family Car With Sweet Handling And Awesome Highway Cruising Feel — Have had this car for over five years now with minimal trouble and lots of fun driving. The handling compared to the other cars in this class (Volvo, Subaru, etc.) is superior and that largely sold me. On the highway, it is really sweet. Very stable, with more than adequate acceleration (I have the 6 Cylinder). I have long been a fan of the wagon's styling as well. Very clean design that they have kept for a long time, but with minor tweaks still seems modern. Owner for 5 years, 3 months Miles Driven per Year:12,000 | ||

A Great Car To Own — This car has been driven mostly on long trips. Great performance - especially in acceleration and handling. Built to last, no rattles or squeaks. Only selling because I am looking to buy a new 95 - and my wife really wants another Saab! Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Highly Recommend This Car — I really like this car, even with 130K+ miles on it. Great pickup when getting on the highway, very comfortable, rides nicely, and has many small features that I like. Have had it 11 years now, and not ready to trade it in. Love this car. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Saab 9-5 Wagon — The best car I've ever owned other than the 09 9-3 I have now. Great acceleration, awesome looks, no issues with this car except when West County Saab/Volvo had a mechanic with some really stinky grease on his feet, leave it in my carpet. WOW, I thought it was just bad B.O. when I first got in, realized quickly that it was something worse. Absolutely beautiful car, cried when I traded in on the 9-7x (trail blazer). Mileage was about 26 average. Son did replace the alternator so I was out the cost of the parts. Really fun car to drive, sleeper at the line, they never saw her coming.

2001 Saab 9-5 Base Review
ProsBoth interior and exterior styling, from the tan leather and trim to jet black exterior with 17" alloy wheels. This car was extremely powerful especially when it "Sport" mode and then handling was superb. ConsEven though I will always love these cars they are sooo frustrating when it comes to reliability. The car could be working perfectly one day and then next, something major is wrong. Parts for the car are crazy and since no one want to work on them, labor costs sometimes outweigh the parts themselves.

2001 Saab 2.0t — Overall this had to be the most exciting and fun car to drive. Surprisingly fast and handled like a dream. Putting the car into "Sport" mode made the a accelaration that much better. It also had a "Winter" mode which made the car accelerate at a very slow pace to avoid losing traction during slick weather. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Comfy Commuting Barge, Cheap To Buy. — Reasonably brisk in everyday driving, no squeaks or rattles at 120K miles, quite nice looking when clean, too thirsty really. I had the engine out and changed the camchain etc when I bought the car so although it has cost me a little money it should go on for years, if I don't get too bored in the meantime.

Depreciation Wrapped Up In Shinny Bells And Whistles! — Fun car to drive especially when the TURBO kicks in. Interesting to see others try to find the key hole. POS as it relates to the quality for it was a nightmare. Cost of ownership is so expensive that I had to get rid of it. After 50K miles, you might as well drive it off a cliff.
