2005 Saab 9-2X consumer reviews

Sporty little hatch with all the right upgrades to a Subaru. Better road noise. Better handling. Better Styling. Simple in all the right ways, and symmetrical cockpit.

I was looking at the Subaru Impreza and found the Saab 9-2x. It's a Subaru chassis (Fuji Heavy Industry) but Saab tweaked quite a bit. Saab improved suspension system, upgraded steering rack, improved sound deadening area's , added a winter packages , HID lighting and leather interior option. The Aero comes with 17" BBS rims. I bought a 2005 9-2x linear instead of buying a 2006 WRX Impreza and I'm really impressed. Obviously there almost the same vehicle but the Impreza has such a hollow sound inside the car when your driving. The ride quality is a but softer but still very firm to the road. Excellent gas mileage with option of driving as a FWD by installing the 10A fuse in the fuse box. Remove the 10A fuse and your in AWD again. Excellent vehicle as far as reliability , fairly easy to do preventive maintenance and repairs.

First, it looks great for a 2005. It's a Saab 9-2x (a rebadged Subaru WRX, if you didn't know). I've had many people tell me it looks quite snazzy. I'm so glad to get a manual shift (I say it's too teach my children before it's too late, but I miss manual). The car itself needs a little work, but it seems to have a lot of pep (the turbo). And now that winter is here, I'm glad I have AWD.

Incredible performance and hatchback utility + AWD. Easy to live with as both my fun car and my daily driver when needed. Very well built, no issues of any kind. You don?t see many around either.

Exceeds my needs.....great visibility...solid feel ..... a pleasurable drive for work and play, has room for 4 adults or 2 adults and 2 kids....wagon style has plenty of cargo space with seats folded down

I could not have had a better experience with my first car. It was a 2005 9-2x aero 2.0. Reliable, comfortable, decent looking, decent mpgs, and cheap to buy!

The Saab 9-2x is really just a rebadged Subaru Impreza, so it had all the amazing Subaru features such as All Wheel Drive and a simple engine to work on that gets decent gas mileage. However, since "Saab" has such a terrible reputation, these are the most affordable Subarus you can buy! Parts are affordable because OEM Subaru parts fit perfectly. Now the down side is that Subarus can be a bit tricky to work on, they burn oil and can burn through it causing catastrophic damage to the car if you don't check and maintain the oil levels, and the head gaskets are known to fail.

Our little SAAB was very good to our family for many years. It drove well, kept us safe, and until the end, gave us very little trouble. Truly, we were sad to have to sell it.

This car is a secret that will save you a forutne for a hig perfromance, gas saving AWD sedan. The car was a high priced sleeper that no one bought, and no one knows how great they are. the caris really a legacy, totally, completely. Warning- only buy models with the automatic transmission, 2.5L NON turbo engine. these cars will run 300,000 miles if you change the oil and anitfreeze regularly. Do not buy manual tranmission or turbo models, they are all beaten, unless you can buy one for dirt cheap and have the ability to replace the engine.

luv my saabaru,other them regular oil change and brake job is been very reliable i have the car or 2 year now and is been trouble free.mpgs are not all that,but them again is all wheel drive and it has a big 4 cilinder engine.and the best thing i love about the car is that is something different,not like the 3 billion civics and corollas out there, that bring a smile to my face.i have a linear worry about gas go for the linear, want a litte more fun go for the aero. but either way u can go wrong.awd a plus in the rain,great handling.
