Swedish Aspirations - 2005 Saab 9-5
By Eric FitzGerald - February 11 - 7:10 amThis car was an absolute steal at only $33k. Thanks to the employee pricing I got a top of the line 9-5 Aero for the price of a 9-3 Arc w/options or a 9-3 Aero w/ no options. The car is fast and people do look at it because it does look so good. Sure the handling isnt as precise as a BMWs or its not a luxurious as other cars in this price class, but when compared to other $33k cars, there is no contest! Ive always loved Saabs and having to tame the torque steer, lifting the ring to throw it in reverse and seeing the corner and reverse lights light up at the front corners. Its unique, its fast, it sounds amazing and I love the turbo whisltes that accompany my commute every day.

Best Saab So Far - 2005 Saab 9-5
By shelbysaab - March 17 - 2:23 pmIve owned 4 Saabs, and this is the best one yet. Ive never had a car that offers so much performance and economy along with comfort and a reasonable price. Saab should do more to promote the 9-5, it really is alot of car for the money. Im sure it would be a best seller if it was available in All-Wheel-Drive
