2011 Saab 9-5

failure

This level of technology did have some drawbacks as Saab was no longer around to easily fix things that went wrong like the Head Up Display eventually failing to project certain information and some of the decorative LED lighting shorting out.

windshield

Just found out that there are NO replacement windshields available for this model.

Lane change warning works perfectly, as do the automatic, water sensing windshield wipers - too many advanced features to mention them all.

comfortable

Comfortable 
Addicting 
Love driving everywhere
Complete driving package.

Comfortable, quiet, and very efficient
Saabs have always had wonderful seating and this one is best yet.

Sooo much room in the interior, very loungy and comfortable for long trips.

comfy supportive awesomely adjustable seats and decent view inside of car.

It drives well, the turbo is very fun and it's extremely comfortable.

Is it the comfort, steering, handling, looks, quirkiness, power, room, look, feel, HUD, HID headlights, hard drive, NAV, panoramic moonroof?

but found this 9-5 passed the eyeball test with a very unique design and found it to be a comfortable & quick ride.

It is very eye catching, extremely comfortable, and gets great gas mileage for a car this size.

This car is reliable, well appointed, stylish, and fun to drive.

This car is really a dream to drive, turns heads everywhere, and is so fun that I almost make excuses to get behind the wheel.

One of the finest cars i have ever had the pleasure to own and drive.

The ride is tight, and the sport suspension makes cornering really fun.

It is very fast and comfortable in the comfort mode and great fun around the bends in sport mode.

sporty

Luxurious, sporty, great performance,  very spacious  and a GREAT DEAL for such a high-end price car.

SUPER RARE, xwd works amazing in the snow, and decent gas mileage for performance weight and size, Aero faster than people claim, just gotta know how to drive it and adjust the sport settings and trac.

My daughter has a Benz 550 sport edition model, and thinks our 9-5 is faster and steers better.

The dash layout is typical saab cockpit like, which is very satisfying without being the least bit confining, and the sport seats are the best I've ever experienced.

Traded in a 2003 9-3 Linear and this is so roomy and comfortable while performing like a sports car.

ride

I seller was kind and patient, last saab there is, good ride!

Love the car, very stylish and rides beautifully.

Great ride, beautiful car, powerful and quiet engine, and one can feel the Swedish pride oozing from every joint in the car.

The awd is excellent, and the ride is very nice.

It is larger inside, quieter and rides like the Swedes intended.

Value, ride, handling, interior, style and looks, all place it above the competition.

interior

The interior is in a class of it's own, thanks.

but I appreciate the simple interior design.

A lot of room in the interior and quiet on the interstate.

JAVA METALIC WITH BIEGE LEATHER INTERIOR .

Up side is AWD & tons more interior room all thru the passenger compartment, especially the back seat.

but it moves great and the inside is huge!

The interior is very functional and roomy.

2011 Saab 9-3

audio-system

and other than the seats and the Bose system I prefer the base 2009 .

speed

my brand new 2009 6 Spd manual is a super car !

Have awd model with 6 speed auto, actuallt 2 a 2011 and 2012..manual with paddle shifters.

low thirties at hwy speeds ,30 around my town.

It performs well and is easy and fun to drive.

It's a great small sedan that is fun to drive.

feature

Its gives you much more acceleration options until you hit rev limiter at about 6300 rpm-i think, layout of dash and controls in just abt perfect imho.

Brightness of all controls can also be set, which is also another cool option.

heat/air-control

Since 2008 they’ve made an excellent vehicle
It’s too bad Jim shut him down from 2008 and on their basically Buick regal’s with better quality control

its a blast to drive, i consistantly challenge other 'sports car' drivers in the hilly country around here and on interstates its handles great at high speed..being able to control and slow down car like having a manual tranny is king!

Also comfortable, quiet and, because of the automatic temperature control, effortless.

I felt safe and in control on slick roads.

button and all of the controls are dimmed except for the speedometer..

reliable

As with my other Saab's, I expect many years of reliable performance.

.the Saab for the money is the most efficient and reliable of any car ever owned.

It's an "entry level" luxury car; comfortable and reliable without being flashy.

2010 Saab 9-3

leg-room

Cons:
*Sticker price
*position of MP3 input
*lack of leg room in rear seat
*Doors do not automaticly lock when car is placed in drive.

turn-handling

The only thing I really don't like is the turning radius.

*Cruise control lever is in an awkward place on the end of the turn signal making it difficult to use without accidently using the turn signal.

Also, the insurance is very low primarily due to the safety record of Saab. These cars are built in Sweden to handle the most demanding conditions possible, including additional safety features as they have to pass "the moose test."

I've had the car 8 years and it still is great fun to drive.

They're just so fun to drive and have terrific features.

It gets great gas mileage, and the paddle shifters are a lot of fun.

This has been the most reliable, fun, solid car I ever drove.

The car is fun to drive and that is what I want.

It is the most fun to drive that I have ever had.

It's so much fun to drive and it has everything I am looking for in terms of features and options.

Enjoy the silence of your Prius while I blow by you with a smile on my face and no guilt on my mind.

Fast, handles well, and incredibly comfortable.

It has power, comfort, handling, style, sound system, features including rain-sensing wipers, Home-link, Bluetooth phone, and Onstar and power sun roof.

It is THE most comfortable car I have ever owned!

The 9-3 is comfortable, stylish and fun to drive, of course, it's a Saab.

Consumers Reports suggest the car will be very reliable.

Mine have proven to be very reliable, and cheaper to own than my family's Acura over the same time period (2006-2010).

safe,reliable,economical and best of all it's a saab!!!! !

The Road safety is amazing and Car Insurance * is much lower because of the awesome safety features.

The Volvo I replaced it with, while having the safety features I desired, could not compare in terms of response.

*Lots of features included in the Aero model.

mileage

Moreover, the mileage can exceed high into 200K ,as well.

The 2.0T gets excellent gas mileage for a sedan this size, once again, thanks to the world's most refined turbo.

2010 Saab 9-5

Beauty, power, comfort, excellent sound system, quite ride!

The comfort is amazing especially with the driver's leg rest extenders on long trips.

It has the style, comfort, and performance you would expect from Saab.

Comfortable ride, unique styling inside and out.

The seats are nothing short of fantastic, probably the most comfortable I have ever experienced.

It has a really smooth ride regardless of the road surface.

Dave, you complain about the ride, duh, try the comfort ride switch, it has 3 settings and I found 2 of the 3 to be outright perfect, the sport one was a bit tough.

The Saab 9-5 Aero is a fun car to drive with a Turbo V6 and AWD.

Otherwise you get a car that is fast, fun and safe.

V6 Turbo provides plenty of power and is really fun to drive on winding back roads.

The interior controls were head of it's time 

The basic radio is lame so look for the Nav system- it changes to whole feel of the interior.

The AWD system matches the power, smooth shifting.

The 6 cyl turbo engine had great power and the Cross Wheel drive system made the 9-5 hug the road like a 8 year old with a new puppy.

2009 Saab 9-3

Gas mileage is great, performace is exceptional for its engine size/weight and handling is top notch for a front drive 4 door sedan.

Great handling, quick and responsive, and the best part, you won't see another sitting across from you at the traffic light.

Great Car, Excellent Handling, Best Car I Ever Owned
Great Car, Excellent Handling, Best Car I Ever Owned

From handling and quality of the ride, safety to fuel efficiency.

It handles really well and predictably, is smooth and quick, very stable at high speed, and i get 29-30 mpg on the freeway.

Near 30mpg for commuting and got 37+ mpg on a trip.

The 6-cylinder, all wheel drive gets slightly less MPG than my most recent sedan,

Auto Purchased: 2009 Saab 9-3 Sport-combi Aero

Pros: Good Power, odd styling, nicely appointed, AWD, Decent MPG

Con: Lack of upgrades/accessories, replacement parts are tough to source.

The convertible works even when you are driving less than 20 mph.

Car was stone reliable and a joy to drive.

The Sportwagon is a fun crossover for me, the owner of 3 Saab sedans over the years.

It is plenty fun and incredibly practical.

Comfortable for short and long distance and thankfully have had no issues at all with the car.

The passenger compartment is neat and comfortable.

This comfortable and practical car is great!

fuel

Great performance from the 6-speed with much better gas mileage than I had expected.

It gets good gas mileage on the freeway and decent in the city.

2009 Saab 9-5

The 09 is an Aero model which doesn't have as plush a ride as the Arc.

The ride is very good & it is very stately

Overall good, despite jittery ride, steep depreciation and turbo lag.

w/seats folded)roof racks that take Thule system, 7 sec.

turbo

It is fast (especially in the passing range) and has great torque from the high output turbo.

The 260 hp direct-injected turbo 4 cylinder is the engine that is now the rage.

Great handling, lovely sound and very solid brand so much fun to drive.

Less body sway, tighter turns, more connected road feel.

2008 Saab 9-3

radio

The only other thing that could be better is a bit more space in back seat for rear passenger seating, and the new standard GM radio looks out of place and cheep in this car.

The standard speakers aren't going to impress audiophiles, and XM only is a shame since Sirius has a far superior lineup of channels with less ads.

Most comfortable seats ever, and it came fully loaded with options that you would normally have to pay extra for in other car brands.

Speed, comfort all excellent, fun to drive.

it?s luxurious, sporty, super comfortable, peppy, sexy, and fun!

We drove it nonstop to from Wisconsin to Florida several times and the comfortable seats made it easy.

The front seats are very comfortable and the ride is smooth and quiet with a great road feel.

Even for a tall and athletically built man like myself, I fit in comfortably.

but close), is quiet, comfortable, roomy, big trunk, feels SOLID like the A4 and BMW!

very confortable, did 27 hours (continuous, stops for food/fuel only)road trip with 3 teenagers in the back, no complains.

This car is fun to drive and also offers a practical side for running to the grocery store or taking the family out to dinner!

It is still fun to drive on a freeway because it has a turbo,

I also have a 2006 9-3 Automatic 2.0T Wagon and it's fun and enjoyable -

This car is such a joy to drive, with the turbo the acceleration in this car is amazing.

Six speed, very fun to drive, rare (not like an Accord or Camry where you see 50 every day).

great riding car fun and great on curvy roads.

Quiet on the road, handles great and cruises effortlessly at freeway speeds, plus great fuel mileage!

It's a screaming bargain, when you consider it was in the 30K range when new  Great HID headlights, heated seats and turbo power, with very good gas mileage

The 2008 Saab 9-3 has a 2.0 liter turbo with great passing ability and gets 25 MPG.

It is super fast and cets great gas mileage!

I get pretty good gas mileage, and the car is pretty solid.

I'm actually getting better MPG than my '07 2.5S Altima and have a lot more power!!

It's beautiful, rides well, and surprisingly, gets great mileage.

can't be the Aero Turbo with an ECU Upgrade!

Great performance, great convertible capacity, turbo has great boost

I love the turbo engine's quickness for pulling out.

the turbo makes a big difference and I am usually the guy passing, not being passed!

It has been a reliable and good car for us.

Very reliable, I never had a problem with it.

If you're looking for a reliable, yet sporty used vehicle, the Saab is the way to go!

It's reliable and gives a great feelings of driving.

You really can't find a safer and more reliable used car!

I cried as I traded her in for a more reliable car.

The cars have always been reliable and the performance for the price is more than adequate.

2008 Saab 9-5

phone

Great stereo, huge trunk, has lots of bells and whistles like shiftable automatic transmission, xenon headlamps, back-up sensor, self-dimming mirrors, Homelink-type device, heated AND ventilated seats, iPod connection, steering wheel audio controls.

The downside is a lack of good storage space for the driver and front passenger - no good place to store sunglasses, iPod, coins, or drinks.

This car can handle aggressive cornering and accelerate when you need it easily all while providing a luxurious comfort Ive never felt in any of my BMWs.

Leather interior, front and read heated seats and ventilated front seats are comfortable in summer and winter while listing to the 11 speaker Harmon Kardon sound system.

I am 6-3, 250 and am comfortable on long-distance drives.

Looks, perf.,comfort, safety, dependability, really comfortable leather heated seats, good mileage.

With a Saab 9-5, I believe you get a distinctively styled, fun-to-drive, relatively fuel-efficient, roomy, comfortable, safe, European-engineered luxury sports sedan at a great value.

The large interior space is important since I'm 6' 3" and have two small kids.

Inside, the cockpit feel of the dash puts all the controls exactly where they should be.

It?s sporty without being a gas guzzler and the large cargo room comes in handy when I need it.

Couldn't be happier with the sleek look, nice luxury and sporty feel.

and the 9-5 is sporty, powerful and roomy.

I believe this is a smart choice, a value in the $35,000 luxury sport sedan universe.

family

My Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon can carry 5 bikes, 5 passengers and all thier stuff getting 20mpg.

Saab's will always have a place in our family history, and my siblings and I each have at least 1 Saab in our garages.

2007 Saab 9-3

shifter

If I could make a change it would be the auto shifter.

(A Car&Driver reviewer accurately wrote a few years ago that it feels like the gearshift lever is connected to the transmission with ropes.)

Drivers side seat creaks over bumps from time to time, shifter (auto) makes creaking sound from park, to D, to R etc.

transmission

The transmission started slipping at 60,000 miles.

No auto-up on the power windows, which makes pulling away from toll booths complicated with a manual transmission.

The six-speed manual transmission is a bit mushier in shifting than the previous one,

noise

I also had to have warranty work done to replace both front door power window regulators (guides/motor assemblies) because they started making a lot of noise when raising/lowering the windows.
