  Why is my wife hogging my car? - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By JWF - February 20 - 9:33 am

  Guess mainly because of the inherent reliability. No way is this car gonna leave her stranded. In more than 3 months of owing the Saabie I have not had to open the hood once! And when the time comes for the 1st maintenance service, its gonna be free! Yaayyy! Off course, the GM discount did not hurt either!

  Great Car For Your Money - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By AsianJoe - May 27 - 11:13 am

  Decent real life gas mileage (23-27mpg). Seats are two tone... black and tan (white?) looks great, but can get dirty fast. You can go to any store and get some scotch guard ($5 a can) to protect your investment. Saab did a good job on noise reduction on the car, compared to the evil twin impreza.

  Fit for me and fun to drive - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By sagebrush - January 28 - 9:13 pm

  I choose this car for fit to my driving style, safety and fun to drive. I like a manual, compact car and the styling suited my step up from traditional GM cars. I knew it was a Saaburu - but for someone who wanted a manual 5 sp with AWD, and didnt look like a boys car (Im middle-aged professional woman), the 9-2X is a kick to drive. I feel safe with some fun power. I hit a deer doing 50 mph and the car didnt even quiver (the windshield didnt fare too well - but held). While I dont disagree with the reviews - I still love my car - and that is what counts.

  Y not WRX - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Awdride - January 27 - 10:00 am

  This is a great car but for alot less you can find a nice cheap used WRX wagon on ebay. Actually Subaru designed the 9-2x for saab thats why they look exactly the same. great car.

  Sweet little thing - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Anne - October 19 - 3:26 pm

  This is my first car, and i could not have asked for a better one. I never have to worry about it breaking down and that little 2.5 liter engine gets me where i want where i want to go on about 27mpg. It is great in corners and never looses hold of the road. Also it is so pretty to look at...sigh...the only problem i have with it is that the non-turbo model has that typical subaru lag in 2nd gear. Also in really bad snow, like 6 inches on the road, turns can be tricky, but it does great everywhere else. All in all, i love this car! Test drive it!!

  Great Sportswagon - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Photoguy - June 9 - 6:56 am

  I got the auto transmission Aero even though I heard that you need the manual Tranny to get good performance.(My wife doesnt like to drive manual transmissions) I have been pleasantly surprised with the performance with the auto- if your engine rpm is less than 3000 and you downshift to third gear before hitting the accelerator it will kick down to second gear and move out fast.Cornering and steering are exceptionally good on this car!

  A good but not great little car. - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Johnnymauler - February 24 - 1:50 am

  I have had some problems with the tires and wheels on this car. After only about 10000 miles all of the Bridgestone tires bubbled and half my rims were bent. I had to buy new tires and aftermarket wheels. The car handles great but turbo lag and cheap seats are a downfall.

  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.

  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.
