1999 SAAB 9-5 SE Estate review from UK and Ireland
"A realistically priced luxury alternative to BMW / Mercedes that has been a pleasure to own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We had to replace the badges on the bonnet and rear tail gate due to flaking paint.
The central locking does not work on occasion, but I am unsure if this is the car or the remote.
General comments?
The car is fairly fast when the pedal is pushed hard, but the handling is not the best in corners due to its size.
Petrol consumption is an issue, however on long journeys it returns 34mpg, not bad for a 10 year old car!!
The interior is spacious with easy to use controls and extremely comfortable seats. The boot is large and easy for loading.
