  Excellent car for a reasonable price - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By SatistifiedDude - October 1 - 10:00 am

  Saab traditionists should take a test drive on this wonderful car, and itll for sure change their mind. This car is considerably better than an Impreza wagon in looks, interior, ride quality, and built. Get in the car, and youll love it. With incentives etc, you can get a fully loaded Linear for 26k...what a BARGAIN, imo.

  Saabaru Wagon - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Jim - September 11 - 6:13 am

  Got this car for company trips. So far it has been good. Decent cargo room, nice leather interior, xenon headlights are great. Not a performance car by any means but will get you from point A to B while letting you have a good amount of fun with the 5sp.

  Blind spot - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Karen Katanick - August 19 - 10:00 am

  This is a great driving car. The only complaint I have is the blind spot on the drivers side. I was taught to glance over my shoulder before merging to the left but in this vehicle the view is obstructed. Compared to my last car, a 2001 VW Beetle, the Saab is much more comfortable and handles really well. I am anxious to drive it in snow.

  The perfect sleeper - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Mike - August 16 - 9:03 pm

  Ive lived Saabs for years. I briefly owned an unfortunate 86 SPG, but loved its quirkiness (overused adjective when describing Saabs, I know) as well as its performance. The Saabaru is a near perfect marriage of two iconic marquees, in terms of performance, quality and quirk. Its a real shame more people dont even consider this car when shopping, especially considering the ridiculous incentives GM is currently offering. The power is there, the handling is better day to day than the WRX, its stealthy (both to cops and the kid in the modded Civic), its well made, it has a great warranty, and its different. That counts for a lot with me in this age of SUVs and boring Asian lookalikes.

  LOVE my 9-2X - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Julie-Anne Langdon - July 7 - 10:00 am

  I absolutely love driving this car! It handles like a dream, corners VERY well, has plenty of pep, and is very comfortable. After doing a lot of shopping, I believe this car offers a whole lot of value for the money, and I know I made a great choice. The 9-2X makes driving a whole lot of fun, and I have lots of room to bring along friends and my dogs, too!

  Long-term ownership review - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By waveho - May 28 - 12:50 am

  Wife bought the 05 9-2x Linear, with cold weather package (heated seats, windows, leather, etc.) at the end of 2004 to be used exclusively as her primary vehicle in her pharma sales job, which requires a LOT of driving. About 180,000(!) miles later, its Subaru quality is still shining through. In all this time, its only required new tires and brakes at regular intervals. This is a car that is driven often in the back roads of central Virginia and the Appalachia area of West Virginia. Its always burned a bit of oil, and the fog lights have had to be replaced due to sand and rocks thrown from trucks during the winter. This is a quality car, fun to drive (5-spd). Highly recommend.

  Sleeper - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By LCACBOSN - April 26 - 5:16 pm

  Overall this automobile is an excellent value. Its definitely Subaru however the added Saab soundproofing and ride quality makes a huge difference. The front-end sheet medal appearance is better than the 05 Impreza. I recently drove the car north from Virginia to New Hampshire in late December. I found that driving in all snow conditions to be safe and pleasurable. The dry weather performance is fantastic for a grocery getter.

  Great euro wagon - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By ownone - April 8 - 10:00 am

  Very fun car, great value for the price. SAAB did a lot of work on this car. I have owned the car for about two months and am still learning features on this car. From little cubbie holes here and there to the larger issues like saftey, this car seems to be very well thought out. So far I love the car and have a ton of interest in car whereever I travel in CA.

  Excellent small wagon - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By nigel - March 28 - 11:30 am

  Acquired a 9-2X Linear with cold weather package & moon roof for the same price as a Subaru Impresza OB SE (GM empoyee discount). Excellent handling, with a firm but not harsh ride; nice 2-tone interior and very supportive seats; lots of trunk room and great fuel economy (~29MPG)

  Resolving a midlife crisis - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By L. Zeitlin - October 29 - 10:30 am

  This is a "Q" boat of a car. It packages the firebreathing performance of the Subaru WRX in a skin that you would not be reluctant to drive to a meeting at the Harvard Club. I can recapture the sports car days of my youth yet remain outwardly respectable. The build quality is excellent and the car has proven ultimately reliable. Fuel economy is good but every time you use the blazing acceleration, its like throwing a 50 cent piece out the window.
