  • Saab 9-2x Linear - 2005 Saab 9-2X
    By -

    Bought the last 9-2x Linear available in the city. Even without the turbo, this car with 5-sp manual is a blast to drive.

    Great car wish it came with leather seats in the 05 model. I like the Subaru engine and look. Runs very fast and agile. Needs a little better interior design like the new Saabs have to make it more expensive/Saab looking up to the Saab standard not Subaru standards.

  • Best of Both Worlds - 2005 Saab 9-2X
    By -

    Right, so I bought my Satin Grey Aero for 22,500 out the door--9 miles on the clocks, bags on the seats (9 grand off sticker?? Ill take one, maybe two). Only option on mine is the Sport Package, which is just a sunroof and beautiful 17" wheels wrapped in decent RE011 Bridgestones. Most dont realize that this car has the STis steering box (2.7 turns vs. 3 on the WRX) which is mounted with rigid bushings to the car, for a more responsive feel. And responsive it is! Great handling, with all the body roll expected from Fuji Heavy Industries. Easily fixed, mind you. Really, the cornering is spot on--you will hug this car after driving hard in the rain! Buy it now before August 1!

  • Beauty for the beast - 2005 Saab 9-2X

    Anyone up for a Subaru entree with Saab spices? I was, and its delicious! The 9-2x Aero combines the practicality of a wagon (great for carting small- to medium-sized dogs, for example, or camping gear), the thrills of a turbo engine (it will put a silly grin on your face that you cannot wipe off), and the safety of all-wheel-drive with ABS and a limited slip differential. The turbo characteristics have been refined, so you wont necessarily take off like a Tasmanian devil at 3000RPM. The shifter is notchy and can definitely be improved. Seats are decent, and the two-tone interior is nice. Road noise is acceptable, but more than the Jetta I owned. In all, a practical car that spells F-U-N.

  • Dont Listen To Professional Reviews!!! - 2005 Saab 9-2X
    By -

    Remember what your professional reviewers do for a living...Listen to the people who own these cars...Just bought car...Only 200 miles so far...It is a Subaru underneath...So what!!! Who can go wrong with the AWD system from Subaru...Saab has made this car more comfortable and quiet as far as ride is concerned and you cant beat the 4yr/50000 mile standard warranty as well as 2yr/24000 included scheduled maintenance...and dont forget a free loaner car whenever you take your car in for service...This car is a blast to drive...Plenty of power, smooth, quiet and great handling...Compare with the Subaru and you decide...I did it and it was no contest...

  • Fun drive no goofy styling - 2005 Saab 9-2X
    By -

    The 9-2x is a Subaru Impreza we all know that. However, it shares components from the WRX a cult followed vehicle for its fun drive and good performance. The Saab offers the same features as the best WRX on all models of the 9-2x. The syling is much improved over the Subaru especial the 2.5 sport model of the the outback or whatever. With discounts from dealers it is not to much more then the subaru but is much better in fit and finish in small details. A better performer then the Impreza. Equal to the WRX if you opt for the turbo and a nice in between if you get the linear.
