  Take it or leave it - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Bob908 - September 28 - 11:56 pm

  We all know this car is a rebadged WRX. That said Saab has made this car more of a "luxury" car then a "race" car with sound dampening, slightly less stiff suspension, and i believe they took the steering components from the STI. The automatic turbo version of this car does not feel as spirited as its manual counterpart. The thing I am most impressed with is the AWD and the lack of body roll when turning partially due to the Horizontally opposed motor (IMO, 2/3s of a porsches motor). I love my car and think it is an excellent option to consider besides an SUV.

  Great car - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By amie - August 13 - 12:10 am

  I have been slamming the miles on this car which now has 151,000. I have had no problems other than replacing the tires. The paint on the hood peeled and Saab finally agreed to re paint the hood. It is a fast car and I get a lot of compliments on it. It still looks new when I clean it up. Would do it all over again

  Fun car has practical side, too - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Dave - June 3 - 6:13 am

  This is the most fun-to-drive car Ive owned. I am also very pleased to be getting just about 30mpg in these days of gas around $2.50/gal. Also, the $5000 rebate on top of employee pricing was unexpectedly generous. Im very happy I bought this car! I feel 10 years younger.

  Love it, love it, love it - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By jbird - December 17 - 3:16 am

  I love my Saab 92X and dont care if its part Suburu. Its the best of both reliability, stability, and style. Perfect for a person with an active life style. Great even with few options, but wish I wouldve gotten leather for easier cleaning.

  Great all-rounder - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By HK - December 15 - 10:50 pm

  I just finished a 5 day drive from Michigan to Alberta in this vehicle, and I would do it again, no hesitation. The car performed admirably, as it has always done. Its been great in the snow (though I thought it was better the first winter;I expect the new tires will help), always reliable, and looks a lot better than the Subaru. The cars Achilles heel is the 4 speed auto transmission. It feels unrefined, and brings the average down a bit. I hoped for better fuel economy (20 city, 26 hwy), and replaced the very weak factory stereo. But over all, its a great car which I intend to keep for a long time.

  Best Value in 5-door sport compact - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Suub - March 24 - 8:16 am

  This 5-door Saab/Suub/Saabaru (pick your poison) is a step up from the great Impreza WRX wagon. More precise and comfortable handling, better body design, increased noise reduction, and overall better good looks differentiate this vehicle greatly from the Subaru. Its price is a bit on the steep side, but its worth every penny. If the performance isnt quite up to snuff, you can always add aftermarket power toys to blow away the competition! I love this car, and Ive owned and test-driven several 5- doors. This is by far the best of the bunch! Too bad theyre practically sold out of the 05s. Buy an 06--you wont regret it!

  Excellent Saab! - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Dennis - February 24 - 12:56 pm

  I have had my Saab 9-2X for four monthsnow and it has 6,000 miles. I haventhad a single problem with it and enjoy driving it more every day. Mine is the non-turbocharged Linear but I find there is plenty of power. It is an automatic with the upgraded interior - leather,heated seats, great sound system. Sure its a Subaru underneath but that will only maximize its longevity and Saab did a great job with the exterior and interior design. I highly recommend this car!

  the perfect AWD sport wagon - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By jvo - February 16 - 5:20 pm

  After driving this car for about 4000 miles I absolutely love it. The AWD is excellent in South Florida rain and Ive found the usable cargo space to be near that of my previous 96 4runner. After about a 1200 mile breakin period Ive notice a significant improvement in gas mileage to around 27 mpg (combined city/highway). The seats were supportive and comfortable on the numerous 3-4 hour trips Ive taken. Perhaps the best attributes of this car are the combination of Japanese reliability, European luxury service, and GM employee pricing. I repeatedly get inquiries and compliments on my unique car.

  Great buy - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Gina - February 12 - 7:36 pm

  Great car. Love the free oil changes and maintenance. Have not had one problem except using the wrong gasoline. Must use detergent gasoline (Shell, Amoco, etc). non-detergent gasoline will slow start-ups. Very comfortable car.

  Saab 9-2X Fun! - 2005 Saab 9-2X
  By Alisa - December 24 - 12:30 pm

  I love my Saab 9-2x so much that I have actually tried to convince others to buy it, too! The car has handled well in every situation Ive tried it in, Im hoping it will remain just as good in the snow this winter. It is sporty, yet still a "luxury" car if that makes any sense at all. I wasnt looking for any frills, just a good, solid car. I did, however, end up getting the cold weather package so I have heated windshield wipers and outer mirrors... I cant wait til it is cold enough to use them! This car was in HIGH demand when I bought it this summer, so Ill live with the upgrade. :) I have never owned a Saab before... after owning this car I would gladly go back!
