2000 SAAB 9-5 Aero review from North America
"Never buy a Saab"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 90K miles had to replace full engine, Electronic engine control, all hoses and a bunch of other parts. Total cost US$7800.
SID quite working at 80000miles.
A series of electrical problem resulting in replacing all the bulbs very often (at least one every 1.5 months)
No help what so ever from Saab.
General comments?
Not at all reliable - unlike the other Saab that I owned.
Saab company does not give a damm about their customers.
Car is comfortable and runs well (when it is working)
