Saab's Best Model — Overall I am very pleased with this car. Having replaced my 2001 9-5 I had expectations that were certainly met with this next generation model. Missing only the overhead aviation light, this model retained many of the old 9-5 features I was expecting. It is disappointing that this car didn't survive. Very fun to drive and the complements from other drivers never end.

Cons

steering, interior details, engine noise

My Future Collectors Item;-) — exterior styling: wow! interior styling is nice but fit and finish +choice of materials not premium quality handling quite good for such a big car, steering a bit deadish ride could be improved, seats very confortable - as in any saab engine refinement is poor,too noisy, in fact the worst diesel engine I had in 12 years (a 1999 bmw diesel was by far superior!)

Slightly Pricey, But Great Performance By Lee

Beautiful, fast, and smooth. The 2.3 engine puts out 265hp, and the turbo has little to no lag. Smooth performance anywhere in the RPM range. Read More
