2000 Saab 9-5 opinions?

Question

I'm looking at picking myself up a 2000 Saab 9-5 wagon and I read reviews of it on cars.com but would like some other immediate feedback. Thanks.

Answer 1

Good car. However, is it I4 or V6? Linear, Arc, Aero? Please clarify. There are some issues with the 4 cylinder which you may need to look at. Otherwise, Wagons are good, fun, spacious and cool.

Answer 2

I have had my 2000 9-5 Wagon since 02. 3.0 L Turbo. Has been a fast, fun car to drive.Periodic problems average about 1K per year, maybe $1500, but I have 130K with strong original engine, turbo and tranny-it's the little things-mostly electric that get you.

For a wagon it is hard to beat for driving fun and performance, though-blowing away many racier looking rides.

If you want true reliability though, get a Honda or Toyota-these are driver's cars, and need work to keep up.

Enjoy!
