  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

  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.

  Excellent small wagon - 2005 Saab 9-2X

  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.

  Saabaru 9-2x - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By John - June 5 - 11:53 pm

  This is a great little car the only problems I had when I bought it was that the tires bubbled in under 10000 miles and I had to replace them with performance tires because no good tire company makes all weather tires for this car but bridgestone and they were the original tires.

  So Far... - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Red9-2X - April 3 - 4:26 am

  I have owned my 9-2X for 3-1/2 months and so far Im generally pleased with my selection of the Saab 9-2X as my daily driver. Its a refined fusion of Euro-Style & Japanese AWD Technology. I am pleased with its functional side as well as its sporty/fun side. I like knowing that I have several safety features working for me with Side curtain and front airbags, ABS & 4 wheel disk brakes, AWD for slippery road conditions, and the Xenon driving lamps. I also feel secure with the great warranty offered. I really like the cargo capacity. The split fold down rear seats are vesatile feature. I would recommend this car for anyone whose functional criteria match up to what this car offers.
