2007 Saab 9-5 SportCombi Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2007 Saab 9-5 SportCombi appreciate its comfort, spaciousness, and powerful turbo engine, which provides quick acceleration. They also value the practicality of the interior and the great cargo space. However, some drivers feel that the build quality doesn't quite measure up to German vehicles, and the fuel economy could be better for lower-end engines. A few have also noted the appearance of the car as slightly ordinary compared to its rivals."
Great acceleration and handling. No repairs since new. Sporty and classic styling. Interior is sporty with good seats. Great air cond. Gas mileage not bad even on bio ethanol. Low maintenance costs. Fun to drive, extra power on bio ethanol.
July 26, 2010Purchased my '06 9-5 SportCombi about 6 months ago for about 1/2 the original price. It was a one-owner car with only 36,000 miles. All the bells & whistles including nav for less than $20k ... and that was with Saab's industry leading CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) 7 year / 100,000 mi warranty. I gave the car 4 stars for appearance & quality only because I believe that a BMW wagon might have an edge over the Saab in this area. Even though the Saab looks good both in and out, it uses quite a bit of interior plastic and I'm still not sure I like the silver trim around the headlights. The performance of the Saab 2.3 liter turbo is fantastic! Put the car in "Sport" mode and it really takes off. Somehow Saab squeezes 260hp out of a 4 cylinder engine. I have the "Sport" package with firmer suspension and it corners like it's on rails. However, you do feel quite a bit of the road. Saab's have a very high depreciation which doesn't make them a very good choice for a *new* car. However, you can find incredible deals on *used* models. You literally pay 1/2 the MSRP for a car that is only a couple of years old. There's no way you can get a BMW wagon for anywhere near the price of a slightly used Saab.

March 19, 2008Driven a few of these up through the years. Needless to say, it's very comfy and spacious. Stuffed with small, practical details that make everyday life a little easier. Instruments are laid out in such a manner that you just locate all of them by instinct. Powerful turbo engine, which makes for swift, yet comfortable acceleration, in particular if you end up with one of the low-pressure turbos.
January 5, 2008It's like a comfy saloon rocket on wheels. Loads of cargo space and nice interior trimming. Gotta love that turbo-boost, and when you compare the mileage with the power - the car is simply outstanding.. How ever, for those who don't need that everyday performance, the consumption could be a bit smaller on the low-range engines.
March 2, 2009Performance: ok for a family vehicle, handling fine Built qualkity: not even near a german built fine piece of equipment Appearace: ordinary, rims are fine though 17inch aero Please give me back my '65 Karmann Cabrio Cost: ok I guess. Fun factor: -
