2007 Saab 9-5 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a reviewSaab's flagship vehicle has an awful lot going for it. Not only is it a very stylish car with a reputation for performance and comfort, it also can brag that it has the lowest ownership cost in its class, a distinction that is helped in part by the fact that the car runs on regular-octane fuel.
The 9-5's aerodynamic headlights and three-port front grille are distinctly Saab - as is the uniquely-located ignition key, which has always been (and we can assume always will be) located in the center console area. The list of standard equipment contains items of advanced luxury and sophistication that wouldn't even be available on many other cars.
Safety is a priority with this car, beginning with its frame. Saab's Pendulum B-Pillar is made of high-tensile steel that works with the sills and crossbars to absorb impact energy so that the occupants miss the brunt of it. Active head restraints and all types of air bags are in place, and traction and stability control are included. All models of the 9-5 have done very well in government crash-testing.
The comfortable interior features leather seating and leather and wood accents, plus seat-heaters for front and back. There's also a standard cabin-air filter, side-window defoggers, and a sophisticated audio system.
The 9-5 comes in 11 exterior colors, with an additional color (Ice Blue Metallic) available when the 60th Anniversary options package is added. Other options packages are the Visisbility Package, which adds xenon headlights and rain-sensing windshield wipers, among other things, and the Aero trim package, which adds sportiness in various measures. A navigation system is also offered, as is OnStar technology.

This is a very fast car that has interesting fun Swedish quirks. The inside is
spacious and this is the first car I don't sit all the way back in.
Slow from a start, this 3800 pound vehicle jumps to life at 30+ mph. She's
plenty fast normally but press the "S" button on the gear lever and she hops to
get out of her own way. She peels out even with traction control on and take it
off for some good burn outs (and new tires). Then she stops fast though the
breaks heat up and the rotors warp a little quicker than I would like.
There is a lot of cost but to be one of the few, the fast, and the classy while
staying with a newer vehicle at a lower price point, it's worth it.Mar 15, 2013

Car is nicely appointed but takes a lot of getting used to. Thing are laid out differently than other cars. Engine noise is a bit excessive at idle. Turbo lag is minimal and once it winds up this car FLYS for a little bitty 4 banger. Haven't had it long enough to comment on reliability or maintenance expense.Dec 09, 2012

I have had a wonderful experience with this "stealth sport" car. Acceleration is fabulous and the car handles exceptionally well. Negotiating traffic actualy is a joy. Its response and stability has kept me out of trouble numerous times. The Swedes know hos to build a performance car for all climates. Sound system with Sirius is fabulous. It is a shame I no longer have space for this automobile.Jul 12, 2012
