Top 5 Pros of 2009 Saab 9-5
Top 5 Cons of 2009 Saab 9-5



Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2006 Saab 9-5?
I have a 2006 sportcombi with a 5 speed manual shifter. Fun car that can be economical on highways.
Handling and performance with practicality what more do you want.
I have roof rails that has allowed me to attached bikes, a big luggage carrier, sheets of Ply wood, etc... Storage and portability have been no problem with this vehicle.
Love the comfort for long drives. Have made many 14 hour trips in comfort with my car. The passing power on the highways is very nice to help you leave traffic behind if needed.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Saab 9-5?
I would have added is integrated TVs/Monitors in the back of the front seat, and also another cup holder up front for the passenger. The cup holder in the center console is not functional for me or I should say my passenger, because I use the arm rest when I drive.
2006 Saab 9-5 Review:
Very good handling for the size of the car. Very surprised was thinking this would be a grocery getter, and not have the performance I was used to. The weight of the car is more than my last car, but the handling and stopping is as good if not better. That was a nice surprise.



Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2005 Saab 9-5?
I have a 2005 Saab 9-5 Aero 2.3T. This is a great car to drive. I am falling in love with this car. This is a well built, comfortable car, and the turbo performance is great. Thanks to god I got great deal on this car.
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Saab 9-5?
Just do the regular company support check ups and oil changes. I am using regular gas and using oil Mobile 1 0w-40.
One more cup holder will be nice in front. If you have any tips for this car feel free please send me a email.
Thank you.
2005 Saab 9-5 Review:
This is a great car to drive.



Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2007 Saab 9-5?
I like the car.
Good handling, good power, lots of features which are still retained from older 9.5.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Saab 9-5?
GM worked hard to make changes less than desired. Sport model missing many nice features I had on my old 1999 9.5.
Seats were more comfortable, better radio, softer, better leather and no polished aluminum, which seems cheap for a Saab.
Sport ride on 2007 too harsh particularly at very cold temperatures.
Low profile 17" tires (Pirelli P6s, probably originals) can hydroplane easily on very wet roads where there is accumulated water. Never had that problem with older 9.5 which had 16" Michelin tires.
Had many failures with car even though it only had 24,000 miles on purchase. Fuel gauge broke (replaced pump/filter/gauge unit under warranty), left high-beam headlight failed (orange relay replaced under warranty), windshield washer nozzle broke (replaced under warranty), rattle in sunroof, driver's seat plastic surround (contains control buttons) has broken supports, and starting issue in cold weather.
Car starts good now that I changed fuel brands and went from 93 octane to 89, both recommended by the dealer. Thanks!
2007 Saab 9-5 Review:
Overall very pleased. Good value for money but must put up with certain number of failures in first few years of ownership. Held true for me with both 1999 and 2007 9.5. Warranty will cover most of these issues but still forces trips to garage.



Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2007 Saab 9-5?
I have the Aero model and very much enjoy the handling, power and seating of this car.
The Harmon Kardon system is excellent as well.
The initial depreciation is wonderful IF you aren't buying new.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Saab 9-5?
This is my 4th Saab and they all have "creeky" front suspensions.
As well, I find it noisy at speed compared with other cars I've had.
2007 Saab 9-5 Review:
Overall I find them great vehicles.



Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2005 Saab 9-5?
Fun to Drive!
Turbo Performance and Solid MPG!
Comfortable Power Heated Seats!
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Saab 9-5?
A more functional cupholder would be nice.
All Wheel Drive version.

2005 Saab 9-5 Review:
Overall great car for the money, fell in love with during test drive - performance and luxury in one package.




Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2003 Saab 9-5?
It hasn't killed me yet.
Cons: How would you improve 2003 Saab 9-5?
Dump GM
2003 Saab 9-5 Review:
My 2003 9-5 is mostly comparable to GMs' Plymouth Cricket or Chevrolet Vega. It falls apart around you. Don't buy. Don't buy! Don't buy!!!.




Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2003 Saab 9-5?
It seems to represent a solid enhancement/evolution of a ten year old car.
Cons: How would you improve 2003 Saab 9-5?
Diesel!
2003 Saab 9-5 Review:
I own a 2000 9-5 Aero with 268K miles.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saab 9-5?
torgue steer




Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2007 Saab 9-5?
Good gas mileage.
Excellent on long drives.
Very few if any repairs.
Fun to drive and solid feel.
Car is subtle and more enjoyable the longer you drive it.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Saab 9-5?
Motor a bit ruff when first starts.
2007 Saab 9-5 Review:
This is my second one and have no regrets. This car grows on you the longer you drive it.




Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2007 Saab 9-5?
Very solid car when driving at high speeds on highways. Great gas mileage when on cruise control on highway as well. Sound system is excellent. I live in the Northeast and kids love riding in car as the rear seats are heated.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Saab 9-5?
Diesel and all-wheel drive. I would hope that the combo keeps the mileage in the 30+ range that I am getting on highway. A bit tighter in the gear box and a little less road noise.
2007 Saab 9-5 Review:
Overall a great value for the money, my cost was less than $30k before taxes. I could not come close to that price point w/others in class, nor get the gas mileage. As I mainly drive on highways, this car has incredible pickup when I need to move from 70 to 90 to get away from pack.
