  Eleanor will be missed... - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By dssquare85 - February 13 - 10:00 pm

  I purchased my Aero used with 30,000K on her. I immediately fell in love and still miss her to this day. I had Eleanor for almost 3 years. She gave me no problems and put nothing but smiles on my face while I owned her. It was worth the expensive insurance, premium fuel and lackluster mpg. Unfortunately, the engine decided to blow at 57,000K with regularly scheduled maintenance. Thousands of dollars later it just wasnt the same and was forced to trade her in. I gave Subaru another chance and traded Eleanor in for 11 Legacy in May 2011.

  Terrific bargain at gm employee price. Fun to drive, steering is best of any car I have ever owned, all wheel drive means no front wheel spin or hop on hard acceleration. Awesome acceleration in 2nd gear when turbo spooled up. Hatchback is very useful. Like having a high performance car that looks tame.

  Great little commuter car - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By 9-2Xtra - December 19 - 11:03 pm

  I got this car to save on gas, but have fun while doing it. It is dead- on-target for me. I havent tested the AWD in snow yet, but you cant make it slip in the wet at all. Also, this car is closely related to Subaru Impreza/WRX, so performance modifications from mild to monstrous are readily possible - the parts are there. I really feel like I took 20 years off my age when I bought this car. It is that much fun to drive. The Linear doesnt require premium fuel like the Aero, either, so that tradeoff worked in my favor as well. If you can find one of these, you owe it to yourself to test-drive it.

  Rippen Griffen 9-2X Aero - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Rippen Griffin - November 25 - 4:16 pm

  Best car I have ever owned! Plenty of interior room for a small family, and the rear seats fold flat for more hauling room. Super reliable - over 108k miles, and no service repairs! My car has been modified, to produce ~100 hp over stock hp, and is still a reliable daily driver.

  Im really loving my new SAAB! - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Stewy - August 29 - 4:46 pm

  I ended up going with the Linear because I have a 35 mile drive to work everyday and the Areos turbo power means a max of 25 mpg and premium fuel - the Linear takes regular and gets 30mpg. Im not disappointed though - this car is a lot of fun to drive. The Linear has plenty of power , the styling is great and even though Ive been told other Saab 93 and 95 owners may turn there noses up at the 9-2xs Subaru heritage - Im re-assured that this car was built on a solid platform from a car company noted for reliability.

  I love my Saab 92X except it takes premi - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By KK - August 23 - 6:36 pm

  The 92X is zippy and handles well in all weather conditions. The mileage could be better...I get 21 miles to a gallon of premium gas - Highway driving. I didnt know it took premium until after I paid for the upgraded turbo car. Originally I was going to buy the less expensive model.) My dealership did not explain the covered service features to me until after I had the vehicle serviced for the first time and had to pay for the oil change.

  Sweet car even for a guy in his late 30s - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Chris Mackey - August 12 - 8:40 pm

  Love the looks of this car. The rear hatch opens up and fits 6 bags of groceries easily. Automatic Aero off of the line is very slow until the turbo kicks in. Makes up for that as you accelerate from 35 MPH to 75MPH in a hurry. Suspension is perfect for me. Not too tight, but still corners like a stud. The stereo is merely adequate. Meets the needs of most people. Its clear Saab expects you to upgrade the system.

  Saabaru NOT at its Finest - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By KJReynolds - July 19 - 2:13 pm

  Having owned 4 previous Saabs, this Saab is not their best by any means - nor is it up to Saab standards. I "downtraded" my Saab 9.5 Linear to save $150 on monthly car note - definelty not worth it! I drive 100 mi/day tho it is mostly highway driving. I feel every road bump - road noise - engine noise - not a comfy car by any means. Im getting worse gas mileage, 25mpg (is a 5 speed) compared to 30 on the 9.5 - and its a very small fuel tank annoys me to fill up every 3-4 days. Ive never driven a Subaru - but I think this car is a Saab in a Halloween costume. I just hope it ends up being as reliable as my others - it better make up for the lack of comfort.

  Id be mad if I paid full price - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Pat - July 13 - 4:13 pm

  But I spent $8500 off msrp, which makes me very happy. I paid less than my friends WRX. I really dont think its any more quiet. Its more jarring over ruff pavement (17"?). Automatic is horrible. Aggressive driving is scary because of the automatic. The cloth is better, but gets dirty really fast. The seats dont seem to keep you in place as well. Oddly enough I love my car. Normal driving is pleasant. Side by side looks much better than the WRX. I have an AWD wagon with lots of safety for cheap. Only wish I got a stick, at least until Im stuck in traffic.

  Yahoo a Saabaru - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By b9e - March 13 - 3:13 am

  Subaru and Saab are very similar companies. Both trace thier heritage to Airplanes, both make extensive use of Turbo charging, and both are, well, a little quirky. Not quite luxury brands, but a step above thier VW/Toyota breathren. Saab has been known for hatchbacks, which, following the introduction of the 93 sport sedan, disappeared from the lineup. Enter the 92x. Basically a reskined Subie Impreza/Wrx, with some cabin quieting. The exterior looks more saab-like than the swedish made 93 sedan. And with the GM discount, its cheaper than the Subaru. Like the Impreza, this car handles great, but fuel consumption suffers (the much larger 93 gets better mpgs).
