  • Great Car and Value - 2007 Saab 9-5
    By -

    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 -

    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 -

    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.

  • A distinct vehicle - 2007 Saab 9-5
    By -

    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 -

    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).

  • Im a real wannabe Saab guy - 2007 Saab 9-5
    By -

    I love my Saab. I dont care much about stuff, but my Saab has captured my heart and wont let go. Im writing this review today because I just crashed my Saab and its at the body shop being assessed. Its possible my Saab wont make it. Prayers accepted.

  • 2007 Saab 95 Wagon - 2007 Saab 9-5
    By -

    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 -

    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.

  • If you like quirky this is it! - 2007 Saab 9-5
    By -

    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.
