Saab 9-5 Summary

The Saab 9-5 doesn't look like other cars. It's fast and luxurious. It feels stable on the highway and has a comfortable, well-designed interior. Wagons have flat load floors and a ton of cargo space, making them wise alternatives to bulkier SUVs. The 2.3-liter turbo is powerful, with only a hint of turbo lag, and it works well with the optional automatic transmission. The Aero's ride quality is impressively smooth given its sports suspension.
