Fun car to drive especially when the TURBO kicks in. 2.3 L Turbo gives lots of power...this is fun to drive. Hit the gas, prepare to go fast... Definitely built for comfortable speed. Looks are unique to Saab as are the cup holders and the key start. Previous owners say It has solid acceleration. Claim it is very reliable and has good handling in all sorts of climates. You can really feel the turbo around the upper RPMs. It is very fun to drive because it handles like a dream and has an extremely smooth ride. The Saabs 9-5 design is a very clean platform that they have kept for a long time, but with minor tweaks in 2001, it still seems modern. You dont see these all over the place so if this is what you want, act quickly.
