Overview & Reviews

Although it looks similar to last year's model, the 2002 9-5 has undergone extensive changes. There are now three distinct models, each with its own look and feature content. A new five-speed automatic transmission is available on all models, while the top-of-the-line Aero gets more power. Revisions to both the steering and suspension systems increase performance, while a new electronic stability control system and adaptive front airbags improve safety.

• Satisfying performance, impressive luxury, reasonable price, wagon availability.

• Quirky Saab design attributes and ergonomics, uninspired exterior styling.

  A Lot Of Car/Wagon - 2002 Saab 9-5
  By RBomber - May 30 - 2:00 am

  This is our second Saab and by far our favorite. Previous cars were a "96 Mercedes E300 and "97 Q45 and I prefer the Saab. They are finally getting it right in Troll Land.

  Super Saab - 2002 Saab 9-5
  By Saabboy - April 25 - 10:00 am

  Bought the 9 5 Arc w/ touring package at used w/ 4,800 miles. only 28K. Outstanding car. Love the sport mode and sound system. Trunk space is a huge plus. Plenty of room throughout. Great standard features and w/ two kids under 5, safety should always be considered.

  Fun Toy - 2002 Saab 9-5
  By oforibk1 - March 12 - 4:43 pm

  Exhillarating (yet quiet) 4 CYL. Sport button coverts this into a fun toy. Build quality could be improved (cheap looking heated seat controls and open/close vent thingys). Stereo is very good. For a car build for Northern Europe, it handles quite lousily in snow. The winter setting doesnt actually do a whole lot of good. Certainly would not recommend it as an only car if snow and hills feature in your life.

  Happy Decision - 2002 Saab 9-5
  By believer - February 16 - 2:00 am

  After an extensive search , I am extremelly pleased with my purchase. The BMW 330xi- out significant price tag. It came down to an Audi A4 Quattro or a Saab 93/95. The Audi 1.8Turbo -a bit underpowered, it begged for standard transmition. Lacked convenience features standard on this category cars. The pumping seat adjustor was a bit odd. The Saab 95 is extremmelly smooth and does not suffer from lack of power with its automatic transmition. Very aggresive prices for leftover 2002 Saabs secured the 95 for less than the Audi A4.

  What a buy..... - 2002 Saab 9-5
  By Deano - January 11 - 10:00 am

  I have bought 16 cars in the past 25 years and this was/is the BEST automobile I have ever owned! I have had a Lexus, Infiniti, BMW, and Fords and from the Dealership to the build of the car I give them both a 10!

  Mixed emotion - 2002 Saab 9-5
  By bobrunn - December 12 - 1:30 am

  I really enjoy driving and looking at my Saab. This is the 3rd Saab Ive had and they all have the same characteristics--fun to drive, very many safety features, great versatility, but many mechanical problems. I have 103,000 miles and Ive had to replace the brakes twice, replaced the head gasket, bad thermostat, computerized problems that I dont understand.

  Sports car with a patio! - 2002 Saab 9-5
  By bRAD - November 30 - 10:00 am

  I wanted a sports car and I wanted a car to haul around all my stuff like camping gear and mountain bikes. Ive only got room for 1 car and this is it. Itll outrun most other cars- and you can take 4 friends and all their gear with you! Fuel economy is great as long as you stay out of the turbo but it performs so great youll always be going fast. Great car for going long distances in a hurry. With incentives and low sales this car is a hidden gem. Youll get this car for far less than the "competition" and you can spend the money you save on upgrades from Hirsch Performance- then youll have a wagon with 310hp and 325ft-lbs of torque!

  first Saab - 2002 Saab 9-5
  By Keith - Michigan - September 6 - 2:00 am

  Had not intent to buy a Saab. Took the 95 for a ride and that was it. Very impressed with the smoothness of the performance of the turbo. Would recommend one to anyone.
