2010 Saab 9-5 consumer reviews

I read David Thomas' review of the new Saab 9-5 and he needs Prozac to get over the depression he must be suffering from. Dave, you complain about the ride, duh, try the comfort ride switch, it has 3 settings and I found 2 of the 3 to be outright perfect, the sport one was a bit tough. That must have been the one Dave didn't know he was in. The 6 cyl turbo engine had great power and the Cross Wheel drive system made the 9-5 hug the road like a 8 year old with a new puppy. The handling was superb, fuel mileage so far (3000 miles) has been 20 ish around city and 28 on the highway. Alot better than my former A-6. Drove it in a foot plus of snow and never slipped once, my Audi couldn't say that 50% of the time. The seats are nothing short of fantastic, probably the most comfortable I have ever experienced. The only downside to this car and Dave hit Saab on this too was the dash panel has too much plastic. It is not as cheap as Dave makes it sound though. The dealer I bought it from said Saab had a different panel intended for this car but had problems with the supplier in getting it to production. He said it had originally a weaved carbon fibre like dash and said it looked amazing, and was hopeful that Saab would get it back into production. As far as Dave pounding on the price, my Saab ended up costing about $8000 less than the current A-6 with quatro. I think it is a great value for the money. It's bigger than the Audi, drives and holds the road way better, goes better in snow, looks amazing and is like 20% less. Dave I'll drive my new Saab 9-5 to the pharmacy and get your perscription of prozac filled and bring it over and show you what you missed on the Saab.

I just picked up this new 9-5 this weekend and I am very pleased. It is so comfortable and cozy! I have received so many looks on the road. Saab has done a terrific job on this new model. I love it!!
