Saab 9-5 Estate 2.3t SE 5d (2000/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Well equipped as standard with leather, climate, cruise etc so no need to look at options.
Costs
Disappointed with depreciation. I thought would be on a par with Volvo V70, but depreciates more. Economy at 25mpg also slightly dissapointing. Servicing costs acceptable.

Driving
Excellent motorway cruiser due to good refinement. Light controls.
Performance
It's definitely no high revving sportster but mid range torque makes the car a satisfying drive.

Living with it
Reliability
Problems with gearbox synchro and engine management system but no breakdowns.
Image
Good looking car especially in silver. Not flash but intelligent choice.
Comfort
Great seats but I found relationship between driver seat and pedals slightly wrong for me. Excellent dashboard and good boot space.
