2001 Saab 9-5

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!"

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

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!!!!"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 149,000

Pros: "safe care. nice ride"

Cons: "high maintance"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 6

"I have had my SAAB for a few years now. Believe me when I say you will feel safe in this car. A nice comfortable driving car. Handles well on the road. BUT!!!!! very high maintance. Only use mobile one oil. Keep the maintance up. I have already spent $1600.00 in one year on this car.If you can handle the cost of repairs by all means buy one, you will love the way they handle and drive."

"This is a very high performance car. It's called "driving" when your behind the wheel. The speakers and overall comfort is "comforting." You can sit back and relax and know that your in "one tough machine". I feel very safe in this car."
