1999 SAAB 9-5 SE review from North America
"WOW!! I'm hooked!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
60,000 mile service at dealer. What a joke. My independant mechanic would have done it for 1/2 the cost. They even mark up the parts bigtime!
General comments?
What an AWESOME piece of machinery! Had I designed a car, it would have been this one. I am hooked on Saab!
It is an absolute ROCKET!
On a long trip I feel like my family and I OWN the road!
Find an honest garage and NEVER see the dealergyp again!!! Your issues will mysteriously go away.
