Awesome in aero spec., leaves so called "better" cars (bmw, mercedes, etc) for dead. Has the hirsch performance u[pgrade which makes it pull like a train. For the money, nothing comes close. Buy one, and grin a lot!!

Extremely good performance and reliability but one pays for it in the fuel consumption figures which is now looking to become a major problem.

I bought a 1999, 2nd hand saab 9-5 estate with low mileage for £1400.00 absolute bargain! Fantastic condition superb drive and all rounder for the recent arrival of twins! I'd love to buy a new car as there are many great options on the market at present but to get a great car with good styling and all round equipment you'd be mad to spend £££££' s on a new one when their are great deals to be had on the second hand market. I have noticed new cars keep going up in price irrespective of inflation and are more expensive than they have been for somewhile unless you're in the market for a cheap town run around - what about families? When you live in a city you should be using commuter transport to be environmantally friendly or getting on a bike / bicycle not using a car to go to the shops! Walk / bus / train or bike if you're that bothered about it. Yes my latest car isn't the most economical beast but until practical costs make buying a newer more efficient vehicle more realistic for those on a budget then my latest purchase has done more for recycling than paying for a new car to be built. my previous two vehicles were a brand new mini @ £16,000 + with all mod cons which i had for 5 yrs (lost in floods!) And most recently a toyota carina e auto which i paid £400.00 for, which i had for 18 months with no problems and re-sold for £350.00! Cheers to cheap motoring!

My current car was a compromise and a very happy one as it turns out. Its reliability and ease of day to day use coupled with above average performance has been a general joy. Early depreciation would prevent this being a brand new purchase, but, i would certainly consider one again.

Great car to drive at all times. i dont get bored of driving it. Always looking forward to drive it , as i only drive it at weekends. Very comfy.seats holds you together nicely. It has been a very reliable car, has i am very fussy at the slightest thing. My wife is very jelouse of the car because she feels the car gets more love and attention than her.she has treathened to burn it one day out of jelousey,but really she knows i lover her too,but truey i love my car better. The car has 250 bhp standard,front wheel drive lots of power for a 2.3. Fully loaded ,factory lowered from new.never really had any serious problem with it..this is a very nice car if well looked after. I service and change the oil and filter every 5000 miles due to oil sludge this engines suffer from due to bad design of the crank case breather pipes. orthough a revised version is now available which i have upgraded . i intend to keep the car untill its death or mine.

I would buy another but they're no longer in production. I'd certainly buy a new 9-5 (secondhand) if (when) they make an estate. The fault i had last year was a split in a turbo pipe. Simple fault but no supply of a hose for about 4 weeks! It was in the middle of the 'will saab survive period' though so almost understandable. I just gaffer taped the pipe until the new one arrived

Have had over 49mpg on a run. Very impressive for such a large car. Nothing has gone wrong at all in the 7000 miles i've had the car. Just wish i'd gone for a higher specced car with more goodies. Price i paid for the car would have only got me a similar aged mondeo. Same age bmw 5 series would have been at least £7000 more. Very impressed so far.

The well documented problem with the manual gearbox, where reverse is almost impossible to engage is very annoying as the3 cost to repair is prohibitive. I also have very serious problems finding 5th and it is only because i have a 'feel' for the gears that i am able to find it. To get the car in reverse such that the key can be taken out and the car locked securely more often than not requires the clutch to be tried repeatedly, followed by trying to get the car in reverse until it eventually does. The car is amazingly solid - very impressive. Just let down by the gearbox issues.

I have two saab's and they are both very good. They have been in the family for all most 40 years and in that time we have only had two break downs, i think that says it all. I am in the saab owners club and would bay any thing if it had the saab brand.

Very comfortable place to be, as well as safe and quick when it needs to be. Great for four adults and luggage, and great on motorway journeys. A bit big for tight car parks, but park assist helps.

As a 4 wheel drive xwd version this is the best handling saab yet - very reassuring on waterlogged roads and motorways. Fantastic interior space especially in rear.
