A Swedish-American Innovation

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: I did enjoy driving for 5 days. It is an excellent automobile and I recommend it without hesitation
Review: Saab Aero 9-5 2003

A Swedish-American Innovation

A few years ago General Motors took full control of Saab. Until then General Motors was a co-owner of this European automobile manufacturer.

Looking for quick results and...

A Scandanavian gem!

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2009
The Bottom Line: A popular choice for the Northeast (U.S.).  A great performer in all weather conditions.
Review: I bought this car used from a local dealer.  It was in a slightly worn condition.  There was a dent in the front, the carpet had stains and the driver's side mirror had yellow paint transfer marks.  I saw through all the imperfections after having...

Probably one of the best Wagons you can get!

Date of Review:  May 2, 2003
The Bottom Line: Saab is an excellent car, offering sporty, practical transportation.
Review: The Saab 9-5 Aero Sportwagon is a good balance of handling, roominess, price and power in this thinly populated segment.

Shopping:

When compared to its competitors in price (Audi A4 Avant, Volvo V70 T5, BMW 325 Wagon) the Saab...

A wagon to keep you grinning ear to ear.

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2003
The Bottom Line: Drive it and you'll almost certainly buy it. It's a sportscar for guys with families.
Review: This car was a real surprise. We outgrew our VW Passat Sedan recently...in need of a wagon. We looked at everything from a new Passat wagon to an E series Mercedes. Always drove by the Saab dealership without a second thought. We had almost settled...

Substantial, fun highway car but no sports car.

Date of Review:  Sep 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you want a sports car with 4 doors in this price range, get an IS300 or 330i; if you want a fast, fun sedan, you'll enjoy the 9-5.
Review: My wife and I recently bought a new 2003 9-5 Aero Sedan (5 speed) after a fairly comprehensive search for a sporty, fast semi-luxury sedan. Other vehicles we tested included the Audi A4 3.0 AWD, BMW 330i, Lexus IS300, Infiniti G35 and Volvo S60. We...

It feels sooooo great!

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: Best all around value anywhere. Period.
Review: First off, this is a car that has all the bells and whistles anyone could ever want at a price giving the best value in town. Especially used. I would never buy a new vehicle of any kind, so I went to the car lot after my husband's pickup truck was...

Good Car with minor quirks

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended. If cared for will treat you quite well.
Review: I have a 2003 9-5 ARC (V6 turbo). Comfortable, reliable. It does have its little quirks that come with age. Occassionally I see the airbag light flash for a second.. this happens once every 2-3 months and does not worry me. I have had issues with...

A great bargain in the luxury sport wagon market

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for sport wagon, look at the Saab. Arguably the best wagon in the market between $30,000 - $40,000
Review: Why i chose Saab - I had decided to get a sport wagon and had narrowed it down to the volvo v70 T5, passat w-8 and the saab 9-5 aero. While each of these cars were good, what swayed me over to the saab was the looks of the car (i got a ferrari red...

"Lemon Tree, Very Pretty . . ."

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2003
The Bottom Line: Stay away. When the car works, its a pleasure to drive and own. It rarely works perfectly, though, and regularly fails to work at all.
Review: Not since my 1982 Renault LeCar has a car left me stranded at the side of the road so often. In 25,000 miles, the transmission has failed (twice), the brakes have failed, the ignition has failed, the trip computer has failed . . .

Bargain Luxury

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2004
Review: Needed a vehicle to replace an aging 850 Volvo and carry the family dog. Winter skiing and Pacific Northwest weather were also factors. SUV? Not our style so a wagon was the alternative. Looked carefully at the Subaru Legacy and Outback and the...
