"This is my 3rd Saab. I have a 9-5 wagon, and I had a 9-3 sports sedan. This one is a 2009 9-5 Aero sedan. It is fast (especially in the passing range) and has great torque from the high output turbo. The ride comfort is superlative. Amazing heated and vented seats. Great visibility with self leveling xenons. Stereo is by Harmon Kardon. Cavernous trunk, great interior space. Materials are decent, but not quite as nice as my 2005 wagon. Price on a pre-owned model with factory warranty is amazing. It is a great sport touring car. Seats five in all day comfort. The 9-3 was sportier, even in base trim, but the 9-3 felt like a toy by comparison. The 9-5 is fast and stable at higher speeds. This car loves tight sweepers and shines in the 80-110 mph range. This is a great car. When looking to buy I shopped against MB C300, Audi A6 and Cadillac CTS."

"I bought a 2009 Jet Black Saab 9-5 Sedan 2.3 Turbo & traded in a 2006 Cadillac CTS. There is a lot to like about the 9-5. I did get a great deal with a large rebate. Irregardless, the 9-5 is a very good and safe car. It would be a real shame if Saab went out of business because GM did not do a good job marketing Saabs. My 9-5 is the best new car I have owned after new CTS, Grand Cherokee, Outback, Camry, 2 Accords, & 320i. It is very responsive with a tight turning radius; burns Regular gas, not premium like most competitors; has Xenon headlamps, electronically folding mirrors, heated front and back plush leather seats; the largest trunk in its class, very nice Harman Kardon CD system with 9 speakers. The 260 hp direct-injected turbo 4 cylinder is the engine that is now the rage. The ride is very good & it is very stately even though it has not changed since 2006. Somebody needs to wake up and buy Saab.It truely competes with and beats BMW 3s & 5s, Acura TL, MBs, Audi 6s, Lincolns, and CTSs. My only complaint is only one cupholder upfront."

"Have Combi Aero. Overall good, despite jittery ride, steep depreciation and turbo lag. Good car to buy under a certified program. Good storage (73 C.F. w/seats folded)roof racks that take Thule system, 7 sec. 0-60 and great brakes. Aero package good value. Scored reliabiliy 3 due to 2 battery failure in year 1, dealer blames GM battery. That is only problem. Love it!"
