Great car and value - 2005 Saab 9-2X
By Chad - March 6 - 3:50 pmWe just purchased our 9-2x Aero and have been extremely satisfied. We purchased under GMs Employee Discount promotion for approx. $8000 below MSRP. Thus, we have a premium label, upgraded stereo, climate control, etc.,arguably better looks and handling with the same engine performance and reliability as the WRX, all for $1000s less. Many articles have been written about the cars performance, so Ill just say it is very quick and has excellent handling. The AWD is a useful feature on the slick Seattle streets. Up until the promotion I was set on a sedan (Legacy GT or TSX), but the value was too good to pass up and now I have to admit I really like the styling and driving something unique.

100k Problem-Free Miles! - 2005 Saab 9-2X
By estevanker - February 22 - 6:40 pmIve been driving this car 150 miles daily to work and back and have not had a single issue with it. The car averages 33mpg and is awesome in the snow and ice. I anticipate driving it another 100k miles.

Still in love - 2005 Saab 9-2X
By Phil - January 12 - 1:20 amMore than 9 months and 10,000 miles later, and I still love my 92X. Great pickup (couldnt stand the lag on the Aero version, so I bought the Linear). Handles very well. It has more room for cargo than youd expect, especially with the seats down. Just took it skiing in WV, and it handled the snowy hills without a single problem. And all my friends are impressed by it.

No regrets with Linear model - 2005 Saab 9-2X
By happy - December 9 - 9:26 amJust traded my SUV in for this. I was looking for a unique car under 20 grand that had the best blend of performance, economy, style, and either awd or 4wd. The only tough question was to go for the Aero or Linear. Turbo sounds nice but Im done with paying for premium fuel. Plus the Linear averages 25-32 mpg on 87 octane. The Aero barely beats my SUV and requires prem fuel. The Linear will still snap your neck back into the headrest off the line and 5th gear is strong enough to conquer steep grade hills without the need to downshift. Overall fewer luxury options than most premium brands but it has all the basics. Heated seats, 6 disc changer, and decent leather will do me just fine.

9-2x Aer-Ohhhhh!!! - 2005 Saab 9-2X
By chills23 - September 19 - 7:33 amWhat a steal! Quick, nimble, stylish, handles well, reliable, roomy, & solid. Everything the WRX is and wishes it could be. Price is better than a WRX, ride is better, interior is much nicer, exterior sleeker (WRX is fugly IMHO). Handles better and is faster than my former modd Audi A4 and costs 30% less. Never thought the car would turn heads, but in Brilliant Red, the car is intimidating and striking. There isnt a car out there that can compare at this price range. Being an avid car mag reader, enthusiast, and motorcycle rider I can honestly tell you this is the car deal of a lifetime if you seek performance, reliability, and all weather utility in an affordable but stylish package.

A Very Good Premium Compact - 2005 Saab 9-2X
By Love2Drive - September 2 - 7:13 pmThis is a quality entry in the premium compact class. First, identify what you want. If you love driving, have a preference for European cars or European styling, and dont want to spend a fortune, you have come to the right place. This car has been tastefully upgraded by SAAB, and is not really a competitor to the Subaru WRX, but a new entry in what is expected to be a rapidly growing category...the premium compact class. Think a fast Audi, with comparable handling, but at a base level Audi price. You will likely not find even the upcoming Audi A3 at this price, with this performance. This car offers very good performance and handling, huge utility, good looks, at a reasonable price.

Nice Car - 2005 Saab 9-2X
By Derek - June 22 - 10:03 pmIf you are looking for something practical but fun the 9-2x is a good choice. I am 23 and very active in basketball and baseball and the 9-2x can fit all my gear plus a few friends. Also I plan on owning this car for a long time so it is nice to know I can grow into it as well.

Great Little All Wheel Driver - 2005 Saab 9-2X
By Sir DriveAlot - June 10 - 10:16 amOverall this is a very competent car. I traded in my pick-up truck for an automatic Linear so I could save gas $$. So far I get around 27-28 mpg combined city and highway. This is the most stylish, inexpensive, and most efficient vehicle I could find that would get me up my steep driveway in the winter. The rear folding seats are versatile enough to handle my child seat and whatever other general items I need to haul. Acceleration is adequate, but I am not speed racer. Excellent price with the latest sdeals from GM/Saab.

Linear review - 2005 Saab 9-2X
By KGS - May 28 - 10:03 pmGood car. Great deal for the money but only with rebate. OUTSTANDING cargo space. Actually beats the Mitsubishi Outlander, its still AWD, had leather AND stick. Baltimore to Cape Cod mileage: 31.8 MPG. This includes going 10 miles in 2-1/2 hours on the Jersey Turnpike. Went up/down Whiteface Mountain with ease. Fun to drive. Heated seats are a plus.

Awesome little rocket - 2005 Saab 9-2X
By phillyexpat - May 12 - 3:00 amWow... so I wanted the Aero, but only wanted to pay for the Linear. This car still is a rocket and such a blast to drive. While it may not be quite as solid as a BMW costing 20k more, it handles just as assuredly. I love this car so much.
