What Owners are Saying About the 2006 Saab 9-5

"Maybe the best car I've ever owned."

"Who says Germans are the best engineers? This car has a fabulous combination of luxury, economy, utility and sporty features without any of the quirks typical of other Euro cars. I love the overall design and performance of this car. I have used (and LOVE) all four driving modes: normal, winter, sport and manual. [Pure engineering genius!] I get much better MPG than average: 30 MPG highway and around 20 MPG city. (Good maintenance and driving habits?) The only complaints I have are the rather significant amount of rear blind spots and the poorly positioned front seat arm rests. Overall: Saabs are pricey, but worth it. Get an extended warranty, though. It will pay for itself with just one semi-major repair. After owning this Saab for the past 18 months, I don't want to drive anything but a Saab."

"a classy wagon"

"the best looking wagon,fast turbo engine, classy and roomy interior,superb sound system,very fun to drive,highly recommended.I know some people look down on saabs,there is no reason what so ever..."
