  2007 Saab 95 Wagon - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By chgoguy11 - April 3 - 1:53 am

  Love the 2.3 turbo engine, very brisk especially in Sport mode, but very economical too. Smooth ride, very comfortable seats, could drive this all day long. I had a 2001 95 wagon up to 112,000 miles and was still going strong. Saab made many improvements over the years, while keeping things that work well. Gone are the wanky Info panel and Climate panel with the disappearing numbers. They kept the stalwart 2.3 turbo and updated the styling just enough to make it modern but still look like a Saab. I will keep buying Saabs!

  My favorite car of all time! - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By Curt - November 4 - 3:26 pm

  Ive had this car for nearly a year and I love it! Its powerful, comfortable and gets very good gas mileage. The car is loaded with features and is designed with safety in mind. This car offers so much value for the dollar. I traded-in a Jaguar XK8 for this Aero and I have never regretted the decision. This car is great in the snow and hauls five passengers quite comfortably. The trunk is very large and the interior is well laid out. This is my favorite car Ive ever owned.

  Never been more disappointed - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By Mourer - October 23 - 3:56 pm

  Its my 39th new car. Ive owned most all types. This car is my biggest disappointment since purchasing GMs & Fords in the 80s. Owned 2 days and the side "memory seat" lower seat wrap around and buttons have broken off the drivers seat and just hanging, parts on order. Low gas mileage for such a tiny tiny engine...if 2.3L were in a Honda it would get 45 MPG, not 18. So with whats happened in day 2 of owning it, I look forward each morning to what will break next. Other cars offer greater value, quality, at lower costs. Dont buy a SAAB!!! Big mistake.

  If you like quirky this is it! - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By SAAB95JD - August 29 - 2:13 am

  I bought a 2007 Saab 9-5 after losing my 300K Mercedes E300D due to a flooded street. It was difficult to choose a car other than another Mercedes, but lets face it... if you want a M-B diesel the minimum price is $60K! So, I chose to go with something else unusual, and the Saab fit the bill. What a great car! The acceleration is thrilling, the build seems great, the interior is comfortable and well thought out, and I LOVE the fact that the parchment seats are combined with black interior colors. Very modern. The car has had one warranty claim already which is why I rated it 9 instead of 10... but it was a simple squeak in the wood trim. It took the dealer 10 min to fix.

  Poor mans luxury sport - 2007 Saab 9-5
  By tbill2 - March 9 - 3:09 pm

  For some reason there are a glut of these 9-5s off-lease and available at reasonable prices. Im basically happy with mine, its been reliable, a good and economical performer although mine is plagued with the same as others gripe about; harsh ride at slower speeds and a persistent rattle. The turbo provides abundant acceleration (sport mode is a blast) and the car is a dream to drive in tight x-way traffic. It has the best brakes Ive ever experienced, very comfortable seats, excellent sound system, and it looks classy (IMO). My Saab dealer has also been responsive thus far. No real worries.
