SAAB 9-5 2001 reviews
Pros: The car is an aeroplane, the power is more than enough, not only at take-off speeds, but also at speeds above 100km/h. Perfectly controlled and stable, quiet. Very comfortable seats. Roomy. Little rust.
Virtually repair-free up to ~ 200´000km.
Cons: Fuel consumption is adequate for the power, gas is not recommended. Service options are rather limited, as is the supply of spare parts. Aluminium parts and plastics on the outside cannot withstand the winter climate - aluminium corrodes, plastics fade. Archaic audio system, touchscreen solutions unsuccessful.

Pros: Convenient leather interior. Roomy luggage compartment. Lowering rear seats remain flat floor. Reserve of power (280 hp) even when driving above 160 km / h. Stable on road.
Cons: Attractive for rust. The front lamps should be polished every 3 years. Not every service can repair, especially electronics problems.
