    MY wife has fallen in love with this car. It seems to be the perfect balance between size, mileage and luxury.

    I love this car. Its quick, gets good fuel economy and looks expensive. The mid-range acceleration of this car is amazing and theres no turbo lag. I like how the engine is 2.3 liters instead of 2.0 because it makes it so theres not as much lag and the car doesnt have to rely on the turbo as much so the power band is much more linear. If you get this car make sure you get the Aero. Its the best model. It gives you 230 HP according to Saab (But its been said to be more like 250) and 258 lbs. ft. of torque. It feels even quicker than that though and it can really handle in the corners as well. The steering quickness and feel is excellent and it provides good road and even engine feedback!

  • I love my Saab, but you must maintain - 2000 Saab 9-5

    This is the 3rd Saab I have owned. Not only do I feel extremely safe in the vehicle, I also love driving it. However, if you are looking for a low maintenance vehicle, this is not a good buy for you. Saabs are great cars for people who do not mind spending a little TLC (and money) on their car. Provided you fix things when they start to break (and the car will let you know when something funny starts happening), most repairs are manageable. I love my Saab, and would recommend it for any parents who are looking to purchase it for a safe car for a more experienced driver (18+)! Love your Saab and it will love you back!

  • Talk about some bang for your buck - 2000 Saab 9-5

    It started out with a 9-3 my mom bought! I feel in love with it. She decided to buy a 9-5 ARC and again i was in shock. I decided my first car was going to be a Saab 9-5SE. I bought this car and had a trouble free ride until my friend hit a cement wall at 73 MPH... The outside of my car was crushed but the cockpit was untouched. I walked away with a scratch and that only happend because I put my hand up in front of the airbag.. Ive tried volvos, BMWs, Mercedes There is just something about a Saab.. Once you love it you dont go back to any other make! When you want a safe/sporty car dont look further than a Saab

  • Love it! - 2000 Saab 9-5

    I made myself a Xmas present last year and bought the 9-5 SE V6t. After driving Audi A6 & BMW 5-series, I have to say that Saab has surprised me with the build quality and the overall performance. It has got to be the most comfortable ride of all. Most importantly though, I havent had ANY problems with maintenance. It runs super-smooth and I wouldnt change anything about it.

    I have an extensive automotive background. Cert. tech, shop foreman, service advisor, with BMW, Rolls , Porsche, Mercedes, etc. I have owned several of the aforementioned vehicles. Ok, my first Saab. What a surprise! This automobile, averaged out, drives, handles, feels, comnpletely unique. Without getting too much into specifics, You dont get this with any other car! Exellent Luxury, Power, feel, handling, and oh yes harmon Kardon Sound, like never heard in a BMW. Ok,, Engine lets you know when its accelerating. aka growl if you will. If Jag, they would call it the Purrr

  • Great Car!!!! - 2000 Saab 9-5

    I have owned a 9-5 Aero Sedan for over 2 years and found it to be an excellent car. Great all around blend of functionality and fun to drive. Excellent performance, great gas mileage, and very comfortable. I recently drove for 475 miles straight in one day, with no fatigue (love those heated and ventilated seats. I am looking forward to my next one.

    Bought the 2000 Saab used and I have not had any issues or problems. Great driving in the snow, smooth ride and reliable performance.

    This car can do it all. It can haul just about anything and it handles like a sport sedan. The turbo engine spools early, so theres no lag and the highway passing power is better than many v6s that Ive driven. The interior is luxurious and the driver ergonomics is like a cockpit. Interior quality is top notch and overall reliability has so far been great. No regrets.
