  Value - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By cedric long - June 5 - 8:23 am

  This is my 3rd Saab 9-5 and they continue to impress with strong performance, very reliable, and excellent fuel mileage. Seats are extremely supportive and build quality has been very good. Its always interesting when you read the automotive reviews the Saab 9-5 is rated significantly below the competition. But when you drive the car it proves to be quite comfortable and with 260 HP certainly competitive with todays competition. The turbo is a completely different driving experience and makes the vehicle fun to drive. Fuel mileage at 22 mpg around town and 32+ on the highways makes the 4 cylinder an excellent choice with todays high cost of fuel.

  Wagon? yes, but its a sports car, too - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By annm - April 23 - 12:36 am

  Could not love driving a car more than this! The manual transmission is fun to drive. The Aero is agile & responsive. While there are cars on the highway that are attractive style-wise, I bought the Aero wagon because I wanted a manual. Not too many manuals out there in cars this size. And not too many wagons.

  Great Car and Value - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By msimpson - June 27 - 3:56 am

  I went from a large SUV to the 2007 9-5 Aero Sport Wagon roughly four weeks ago. Great decision on my part. I thoroughly checked out all the so-called competition and I felt the Saab wagon 9-5 won hands down. The lower cost vehicles just didnt compare and the higher cost vehicles didnt have anywhere near enough added value in order to justify the substantial extra cost. One might say that all wheel drive is a must, but I find the front wheel drive is just fine and you benefit from added gas mileage as well. Im extremely pleased with the car overall. I dont live at the gas station anymore. Comfort is great and it handles like a sports car. The cargo area is bigger than anything in its class.

  A surprisingly good car - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By JC - July 26 - 8:26 pm

  People who drive a BMW, Audi, or Mercedes will probably not be amazed by the Saab 9-5. No, it doesnt have a high-tech computer in it that merely complicates simple tasks, and no it doesnt have "active steering" or anything like that. But its a hugely comfortable and powerful car that will haul a ton of stuff in the wagon model. It is actually comfortable for five people, and is well built and attractive in an odd way. Most importantly, its far cheaper than the German and Japanese opposition. Its a car youll want to keep in the family for years. Think of it as an old Volvo wagon, but far more stylish and cool.

  A fun machine - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By BlueOkie - January 16 - 3:46 am

  My first non-US car. I found great quality in the workmanship and material. All leather is not created equal and this is the tops. Love the look and the sunroof. 3 different transmission settings allow for a fun and responsive drive. So far, Im sold on a SAAB. Free 36 month maintenance sure is nice. As said in manual, gas mileage improves as car is broken in. Ive gone from 23 to 26 now. Mobile One and 93 Octane is used.

  Third Saab - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By windwomen - January 13 - 5:00 pm

  Nice car! Runs better on Super fuel. The front seat very cozy, back seats nice but not as much room as older models. Pretty sweet to look at in black.

  A distinct vehicle - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By aubrey - January 2 - 3:46 am

  Totally enjoy the vehicle after going through two BMWs. The handling is terrific and I am totally surprised at the mileage - 21 city and 30 to 33 on highway. It has more than adequate power and rides nicely. Could improve on the cup holder. Add one. A distinct looking vehicle, particularly in black.

  Fun and practical vehicle - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By Acura-man - December 3 - 12:40 am

  I traded in my 2007 Honda Pilot for this wagon in Jan 2010 - vehicle only had 15k miles on it. I havent been disappointed. Although I did lose a lot of room, this car is just so much more practical and convenient. It was a pain to load my bikes onto the SUV, but this roof-line is lower and easier to do; I also have a canoe (yeah, you dont see many Saab owners driving around with canoes!) - also much easier to load. The car is solid, fun to drive, and comes standard with so many features. I also have a 2007 Acura (and have always had Honda), so its a new experience to drive the Saab. Its extremely fast, great styling, and many of the features seem a-ha (like the dual sunshades).

  Do Not Buy Unless Youre Rich! - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By veadp - April 5 - 6:07 pm

  I have a 2007 Saab 9-5 Aero with Automatic Transmission. It has 93,000km. Do Not Buy This Car Unless Money Grows On Trees For You! If the car is working, its a joy to drive, extremely comfortable, nice and responsive, with just enough power. However, this car is known for Ignition Coil Issues and Fuel Pump Issues, among other things. Normally, these parts are readily available and relatively inexpensive to replace, however, Saab just had to be like BMW, Benz and Audi and the cost to replace parts are ridiculously Expensive and Only the OEM parts will work! I had to replace the Igntion Coils ($500), the MAF Sensor ($250) and Fuel Pump ($500). And the car still doesnt work properly!
