Great for looks, bad for trips

By Gummy73 (CA) on Sunday, June 16, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 190,000

Pros: "Fun to drive, Looks"

Cons: "Constant Repairs"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"This car has multiple problems, oil leaks (constant regardless of repair), sensor issues, belts breaking and other issues like vomiting parts (for instance my car suddenly decided it didn't need an air filter anymore). I'm a guy who refuses to pay for major car repairs so I'm driving it until the wheels fall off!! If you want a car simply for looks, this is a great car."

A Champion

By Robert (IL) on Tuesday, June 04, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 92,000

Pros: "Terrifically designed and engineered"

Cons: "That I cannot buy a new one."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"My 2002 9-5 Wagon (Sonia Saab) is eleven years old and design wise still looks better than most new cars out there. This car has never left me stranded on the side of the road. I have given her regular maintenance and she has run perfectly. I've never had any quality problems. Besides looking like Swedish model the car is fun to drive. Acceleration on the highway is a fabulous."

Best car I ever owned

By saabmimi (MA) on Sunday, March 24, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 75,000

Pros: "great value for price, agile, swift, comfortable"

Cons: "parts are going to be hard to get"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"My third Saab, and my favorite - more reliable, fewer annoying breakdowns inside and out. Fun to drive, speedy and agile, comfortable to be in and looks great next to "luxury" models. Great in the snow we have so much of. Averages over 30 mph on highway miles, around 22 in town in winter. I am so angry with GM for driving a stake through the heart of Saab Motorworks I could scream!"

Amazing Vehicle!

By Saabfan123 (WA) on Thursday, March 21, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 91,120

Pros: "Cheapness, Power, Comfort, Space, Ride Quality"

Cons: "Bad Cup Holders (don't care)"

Black Aero Model

"I own the Aero Wagon model with the 250hp 2.3t. This is an incredible car, the power is always there and the acceleration is seemless. The interior is incredibly comfortable and very quiet on the highway. Handling is better than you would think and the suspension is soft, yet stable and composed. I've owned this car for less than a year (bought it with 79K) and it now has 91,000. For road trips it doesnt get much better than this car! The cargo space is very nice for hauling big items and the load area is low for easier access. If you are looking for a cheap, sporty and powerful, stylish, and comfortable wagon, this is a perfect car for you!"

Pretty little hate machine

By Liz (IN) on Saturday, February 23, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 130,000

Pros: "Looks nice"

Cons: "Looks can be deceiving"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"The single worst purchase we have ever made! This car has cost us more money than I care to tally up. We have replaced the engine, transmission, turbo charger... Just to name the big ticket items. The electrical is screwy and we can never have all outside lights working at one time. There is always something wrong. Lesson learned, you can Never fix a lemon. Don't buy this car!!!!"
