2004 SAAB 9-5 Aero review from UK and Ireland
"For a luxury car, still much work to be done I'm afraid"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump failure at 10.000 miles.
General comments?
Very fast car, but tends to torque steer quite heavily when pushed, to a point of almost losing control. not bad, but for a luxury car in this price bracket, certainly falls far short of the best.
Leather interior on the aero is nice, but again not the most comfortable I have experienced. I have the aero hot 2.3
but find that ride quality on this model
is poor on all, but the best roads, and over potholes it feels like its going to fall to pieces!
