2000 SAAB 9-5 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil Leak.
Computer keeps incorrectly indicated light failure.
Battery went dead after one year.
General comments?
The car has very poor traction.
From a start on a rainy road it yanks to the left or right and front tires spin out.
Oil leak has been repaired four times.
Uses premium fuel only. Costly to run.
An overpriced car with good safety features and comfort, but needs all wheel drive.
It also needs to have its electrical and computer system reworked,
