What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2004 Saab 9-5 seem to really enjoy the car's fun driving experience and stylish design. Many appreciate its performance, especially the turbocharged engine, and find it to be a great value for the price, often comparing it favorably to more expensive models. However, some drivers have expressed concerns about maintenance costs and reliability, with mixed feelings about gas mileage, which seems to vary depending on individual driving habits."
Its quick holds a lot of cargo and carries 4 in great comfort or 5 with a squeeze. Its no stoplight racer but has enough power to enjoy and passing power is superb. Upgrades are easy as with most modern turbo cars and the biggest mods being needed are better downpipe and intercooler and 3 in exhaust and then a simple ecu tune and 300+ hp wagon is a reality. Gas mileage on highway is great avg 34+ mpg
February 22, 2012Most fun to drive of any car I have ever owned
June 13, 2008Loved Saab Aero Academy. Styling is spot on. Crisp with a hint of Saabishness. It ain't no jellybean! 2.3 Turbo 4 gets some getting used to, but once that Turbo kicks in .. watch out! TopGear says it's faster 40-80 than a Ferrari Tess.

February 17, 2009Surprisingly quick, its 0-60 is faster than its generation porsche 911 from 40 to 70, high top speed, feels like you're driving a jet. (A jet with a small amount of under steer) Has needed some repairs, but every car eventually does. This car is very fun to drive.
July 15, 2009It's not a bad car. Performance isn't really lacking for a 4 cylinder turbo. No it's not and evo or sti but it's a great get around without the rush and worry kind of car. Great for an everyday driver. The more miles on it the better she runs. I can't complain.
