1999 SAAB 9-5 Sedan review from North America
"Great car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not a thing has gone wrong with the car (knock on wood).
The only thing is the windshield wiper motor was failing when I purchased the car, but was easily fixed.
General comments?
This car has been a joy to drive. Handles very nicely, also very safe. I was in an accident over the summer with it and it held up very well.
I love the look and feel of the interior.
The exterior has a luxurious but somewhat sporty look to it. All in all, Saab is an amazing automobile maker.
