2007 Saab 9-7X Consumer Reviews

I generally like my 97x. However, the rear view mirror is right at eye height and creates a major blind spot. Also, when the battery died the entire ignition locked up so I couldn’t even put in neutral. This meant having to get it towed. I couldn’t even get the key out. I also had a shifter part go out and couldn’t engage the transmission (labor cost was expensive). This meant getting it towed and has happened twice. I’ve never experienced this with any other vehicle I’ve owned in 40 years. Also, the print on the radio knobs wears off. How stupid/bad is that. Lastly, the rear air shocks went out and were expensive to fix. That was such a bad idea to begin with. I’ve owned the car for 6 years and 30k miles.

Smooth ride, lots of space and very reliable.

Love this vehicle! First off, the 9-7x stands out because it was not made in large numbers and most people are unaware of the Chevy Trailblazer connections. I usually just hear, "I didn't know Saab built an SUV". Regardless of the GM relationship, Saab enginers made over 200 changes to turn the Trailblazer chassis into a 9-7x. I bought mine with 100k miles around 4 years ago, needed nothing, just got in and drove it with no issues! I was lucky in that the prior owner had apprently changed out the air springs to convential coil springs, so that saves me the trouble of having to worry about the pump going out due to a leak. I have driven it about 10k miles, in that time, replaced the brakes and thermostat. I had always liked the 9-7x, so I was happy to get a nice one at a great price and I have not been disappointed! My 9-7x has the 4.2 engine, so it is not going to blow you away with performance, but that's not what I bought the vehicle for in the first place. The 9-7x rides beautiful and in fact, I just got some new Pirelli Scorpion tires, which have made the ride even more smoother!

Fun to drive but even in 2018 GM has failed to solve the AFM destroying the engine for a few more mpg. Catastrophic failure of engine three times. Decided to have a remanufactured engine installed No more GM vehicles ever.

I have owned this car about 3 months, bought with 86000 miles on it. Bought it to pull a 23 foot light camper. It does great. Mileage is acceptable with all it does and still looks nice when not towing. No complaints other than I really don't know why they are so undervalued, considering the car you get. Have had a lot of people question me about it, surprised to learn its a Saab and what it cost me.

I bought this car nearly 2 years and 20k miles ago. Design: Front: Looks great. Back: Trailblazer... bla. Interior: Very nice design all around (except for that terrible flip-out cup holder). Comfort: The seats are absolutely fantastic (all 5). I love the adjustable pedals, power multi-directional seats, and heated seats. Dual climate zones with rear controls is great. Driving: Ride is great. It's not as soft as most SUVs, so it handles better. But is still floats over the bumps. Road noise is average. Handles well in the snow, though noticeably not as awesome as my old Grand Cherokee. Maintenance: This car is higher maintenance. Oil changes require larger amounts of oil which equals more money. The rear air suspension is heaven when it works... but it fails regularly. I gave up and switched it to standard coils. Thermostat went bad and needed replaced. Throttle body was dirty and needed to be cleaned. Right rear speaker has a short and crackles unless you hit the center console (which fixes it for a short period of time). DVD player in roof eats discs. Driver door sticks when opened. MPG is TERRIBLE! TEEEERRRRRIIIBLE! 14MPG City 19MPG HWY

Love this car Solid and comfortable

Comfortable, feels luxurious, reliable, problem free. I've been a jeep girl for a lot of years and switched to this saab, I miss the style of my jeep, it suited me, but LOVE the comfort, convenience, luxury feel of this sweet ride!
