Driver's seat rake adjuster broke.Front wheel bearing needed replacing.Indicators and wipers failed at the same time.Mystery loss of the aircon on one occasion.Annoying buzz from interior light fitting.When I first got it, an annoying hesitation under full acceleration.Windscreen wipers always wore out very quickly and scraped across the screen.Front passenger interior door handle wouldn't open the door. General comments? Despite the above, my Saab 9-5 was mechanically reliable and never failed to start nor did it actually let me down.Where Saab need to improve the next model massively is interior fixtures and fittings. Although mechanically robust, the interior just isn't built well enough, and mine was the facelifted model!Examples are the electric mirror switch is directly descended from the Cavalier, and looks positively ancient and isn't fitted well. Also several annoying interior buzzes from various fittings, as above a door handle breaking and a seat adjuster breaking, and just a general feeling of plasticky, old school design.GM need to up their game considerably on this front if they want to stay in the prestige saloon car class.On the plus side, the big Saab had a fantastic ride quality. Mine only rode on 16" wheels which I'm sure helped. They are very comfy for long trips, cruising at 100mph quietly and confidently. My wife and I sometimes got backaches after very long trips, but that's all.Handling is reasonable for a big front wheel drive car, although I can see torque steer being a problem for the more powerful models. Mine was only the 150bhp version; I have got to say it always felt like it had more power up front than 150 horses, probably thanks to the turbo.On the subject of performance; my main criticism is that this car has incredibly long gearing, which meant in 5th at motorway speeds it wasn't sometimes as responsive as I'd have liked. Otherwise it is very smooth and efficient, with mpg of around 32-33 (OK for such a large car).I would've liked cruise control and a better stereo as standard. I also found the black cloth seats pretty oppressive and showed the dirt too much. I believe they now do a Linear Sport or something as a base model, which addresses these issues.To sum up, the 9-5 is generally an efficient if slightly boring car in Linear trim, but overall is very dated now compared to the competition and desperately needs a new model bringing out.Oh, and why are they all gunmetal grey?

Advantages: Comfortable and good control. (Great safety.)Disadvantages: Not as good for money This is an Estate car. They are about £22,000 new or £16,000 for a 2nd hand 10,000 milage car. It has many features such as cruise control and SIPS (Side Impact Protection Safety.) Sweden, (from my point of view) make excellent quality cars. You can get bottom warmers installed but that is a tiny bit more expensive. The 9-5 2.0t, is a very powerful car, and before we bought it, we pushed it to the limits, and it did very well. It's gearbox is full ......Inner design is not over the top (OTT), it is an executive style. It is about 1.20metres high and a bit longer width and lenght than usual estate cars. I recommend this car to anyone who has this money. Although, for the money I think a few more features would make it the perfect car! It has good looks and handles roads well, security is also great. ... ecommercesurveyor 12.05.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this car review on average: somewhat helpfulReview of Saab 9-5 2.0t  Value for MoneyRoad HandlingFuel consumptionLooks A very good car Advantages: 5 Door saloon that does exactly what it says it willDisadvantages: Air con This is my first Saab and happens to be a company car. I had a Vectra before and expected to miss it, not a bit of it. Though the Saab hasn't got the koudos of a BMW or a Merc nor the street cred of the new Lexus or Jag I am more than happy driving it. A round trip of 110 miles 5 days a week and the miles start to add up. The first 15000 have been entirely trouble free. The ride is smooth the gearbox refined and the engine responsive,I am very confident ......tried snow yet). As stated it is a company car so I've no idea about service/parts costs sorry. My only niggle and it is petty is the air con turns off with the ignition but doesn't turn on with the ignition.

I have been driving a new Saab 95 2.0t estate for several weeks now as a replacement for my Audi A4 which is in the garage for repairs with no estimated fix time (but that is the subject of another review). However, being an Audi owner gives be a good basis for comparison. What I have to say is that this car is a dream to drive. From the moment you sit in the driving seat and the 'fasten seatbelts' sign starts flashing overhead you begin to appreciate that Saab also build planes. The car oozes style and great design and when you turn on the engine and go the pleasure continues. The model I have is an automatic but even though it is an estate it is still fast. I cannot understand why with the large estate body and the automatic gearbox it is still so much faster that my Audi A4 2.0?

We had come by some money, and found that we couldn't find a car that was big enough to accommodate all 5 of us (including one fairly tall family member - not *very* tall, but too tall for most car manufacturers to build cars to suit - AND one fairly short member [the few cars large enough to accommodate Member 1 are completely unsuitable for Member 2]). So we decided to look at the cars we had been avoiding due to their traditional high cost. We ended up getting a special deal on a Saab 9-5 Estate. It was good. The leather seats were very comfortable, the drive was excellent, the audio system played very well, the design was sleek, the boot was plenty big enough, the trim was good. It was a perfect family car.

What changed my mind? I decided to buy abroad and found I could get much better discounts with much shorter lead times on Saabs than BMWs (or Mercs or Audis). I saved £8,500 on the best price my local dealer would give me for a 9-5 Aero Estate and the car was ready in 6 weeks. Check out the price of options - some, notably heated seats, are only a fraction of UK prices. Discounts are more readily available in the UK now, but you can still save a good few thousand pounds by buying in Sweden. ... dhaverty 29.01.2001 (30.08.2005) · Read full review Ciao members have rated this car review on average: very helpfulReview of Saab 9-5 2.0t Estate Similar Cars Product Information Related tags Compare products Gift ideas Cars similar to Saab 9-5 2.0t  » 7 Car reviews saab 9-5 2.3 Saloon - Front (FWD) - 5 Speed Automatic, 5 Speed Manual - 2290 c ... 1 Car review saab 9-5 2.3t aero Estate - Front (FWD) - 5 Speed Manual, 5 Speed Automatic - 2290 c ...

I'm just wondering if the 25 extra hp is noticeable or worth it. Also are their any other differences over the linear, like brakes and suspension? thanks Last edited by Nick Bain; 21-02-08 at 05:27 AM.

It feels like a much bigger engine than it really is, and that bigger turbo just really lays down the torque. -Rogan rogan View Public Profile Visit rogan's homepage!

You could check autos.msn.com (or other numerous sources of car information) and you can get all of the information on engines per model that you want. You can find out exactly which engine is in each model of any manufacturer. It is not difficult to do your own research!!! So instead of taking the lazy way out, do your own work and you will be pleasantly suprised at how much good information you can find out on your own. Additionally, you will not have to worry about the biased opinions that people have on a forum of their car. Give it a try... and ... Good luck.

Now we go to 2.0t and 2.0T...then no more Linear/Arc but 2.0T and Aero. Just scan the threads and you'll pick up on what's what.

I love the midrange acceleration of my 2.0T though because, where I drive, there are a lot of short passing zones on 2-lane roads, and a lot of slow drivers. And I still average around 27.5 mpg in all-around driving, and up to 36 mpg on the highway. You would never regret getting the 2.0T. I also chose to get an Arc over a Vector/Aero because I didn't want the lowered suspension because I do a lot of driving in deep snow which, I hear, causes a lot of broken front air dams on Vectors and Aeros. I also wanted the softer ride for our chuck-holed roads. saabyurk View Public Profile Find all posts by saabyurk #10 21-02-08, 01:26 PM brunp Saab Lunatic Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Ottawa, Canada My Saabs: none Posts: 2,603 I have had a 2.0t Linear (BSR'd about a year into leasing the car) and now have an AERO. If you are looking at a used 2.0t, they are a great value, but the suspension is not as tight and the brakes are smaller then the 2.0T cousins. If you are looking for a pretty good car and want to tune it, then the 2.0t is the biggest bang for your buck. The 2.0T (Arc/Vector and AERO) variants differ in fit and finish. That is it. The engine is the exact same...

Good question, I've noticed others complaining about low mileage. I can add 3 things about my driving that might make a difference. One, when I say highway, I'm referring to driving 2-lane roads at about 60 mph. I'm not sure what I get at freeway speeds. Two, I have a 5-speed, and except for the occasional burst for the fun of it, I drive easy with mileage in mind (but I do accelerate quickly---open throttle plate equals low pumping losses). The 5-speed may help on long downhill runs because I can leave it in 5th and the car will still maintain its speed with my foot off the throttle. In this situation, with the engine being "overdriven", the injectors are turned off by the Trionic system (infinite mpg). I don't think an automatic will push the engine enough do that. Three, my car seems sensitive to gasoline brand. I'm now using only Shell V-Power 93 octane (only toptiergas.com gasoline in the area) to keep deposits from forming. I've found most times I switch brands, the mileage drops significantly during the first half tank or so. It's like the Trionic system "learns" the gas you're using and it's best to stick with one brand. Of course, these are just ramblings in my old mind, and I may not know what I'm talking about. saabyurk View Public Profile Find all posts by saabyurk #13 21-02-08, 03:21 PM Me! SaabNut!

The extra power of the 210hp T engine was VERY noticeable. I found the 175hp "t" engine sluggish and it felt slower than my '97 900 SE. I'll admit that I didn't drive the Linear more than 20-30 minutes. sbl View Public Profile Find all posts by sbl #16 21-02-08, 06:06 PM Saability Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Ft. Worth, TX My Saabs: MY04 9-3 Linear 2.0t Posts: 156 I have a '04 2.0t and when I had it in the dealer once for warranty, they gave me an '05 2.0T as a loaner for a weekend. By the end of the weekend, I was missing my 2.0t. I found the 2.0T to be stiffer and to tend to dart over the road, but unsure if the tires (Pirelli) had more to do with that than the stiffer suspension. Both were autos. I found the 2.0T to pull stronger at all speeds. More drama, sure, but I like the silkiness of the 2.0t. In my younger days I would have gone for the bigger engine simply because it was there. All in all, I prefer the 2.0t. It is smoother both is ride and engine response as well as getting better mileage. Unless one is a damn idiot or a wanna-be racer, the extra power of the 2.0T doesn't factor in much and the harsher ride of the 2.0T got old real quick.

Since you have a 2007, if you have an Aero then you'll have the v6 + dual exhausts. jim808 View Public Profile Find all posts by jim808 #20 03-09-10, 07:30 PM stevedol Super Moderator Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: wiltshire, england My Saabs: MY08 9-3 Aero 2.0T Convertible Posts: 1,855 Quote: Originally Posted by loveMYsaab123 I bought a 2007 2.0T and let me start off by saying I love it.

And is there a difference between a 2.0T and a 2.0t. I love my saab, no problems, great mileage and its very quick! As yours is in the american market, no it can't be an Aero. From 2006-2009 the only engine in an Aero in the US was the 2.8 V6, I believe. Prior to 2006 the Aero had the 2.0T 210BHP engine. From 2006, the cars with the 2.0T engine were badged as such, as yours is. As for difference between the 2.0T and 2.0t, the big 'T' is the more powerful engine with a larger turbo and higher BHP (210BHP). The 2.0t, smaller turbo and 175BHP. as an addition, from 2010, the 2.8V6 has been dropped and the 2.0T is now an Aero again __________________ 2000 93 SE convertible - bought 2003 - traded in 2004 for 2003 93SS Aero - bought 2004 - traded in 2007 for 2006 93Sportcombi diesel MY07 - bought 2007 - Hirsched, stage1 175BHP, pedals & dual exhaust, Kenwood DNX5220 multimedia satnav - traded in 2010 for, 2007 93convertible MY08 - bought 2010 2.5yrs old stevedol View Public Profile Find all posts by stevedol Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Thread Tools Show Printable Version Display Modes Linear Mode Switch to Hybrid Mode Switch to Threaded Mode Posting Rules You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts BB code is On Smilies are On [IMG] code is On HTML code is Off Forum Rules Forum Jump All times are GMT.
