Pros: What do you like about 2007 Saab 9-5?
I like the car.
Good handling, good power, lots of features which are still retained from older 9.5.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Saab 9-5?
GM worked hard to make changes less than desired. Sport model missing many nice features I had on my old 1999 9.5.
Seats were more comfortable, better radio, softer, better leather and no polished aluminum, which seems cheap for a Saab.
Sport ride on 2007 too harsh particularly at very cold temperatures.
Low profile 17" tires (Pirelli P6s, probably originals) can hydroplane easily on very wet roads where there is accumulated water. Never had that problem with older 9.5 which had 16" Michelin tires.
Had many failures with car even though it only had 24,000 miles on purchase. Fuel gauge broke (replaced pump/filter/gauge unit under warranty), left high-beam headlight failed (orange relay replaced under warranty), windshield washer nozzle broke (replaced under warranty), rattle in sunroof, driver's seat plastic surround (contains control buttons) has broken supports, and starting issue in cold weather.
Car starts good now that I changed fuel brands and went from 93 octane to 89, both recommended by the dealer. Thanks!
2007 Saab 9-5 Review:
Overall very pleased. Good value for money but must put up with certain number of failures in first few years of ownership. Held true for me with both 1999 and 2007 9.5. Warranty will cover most of these issues but still forces trips to garage.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Saab 9-5?
I have the Aero model and very much enjoy the handling, power and seating of this car.
The Harmon Kardon system is excellent as well.
The initial depreciation is wonderful IF you aren't buying new.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Saab 9-5?
This is my 4th Saab and they all have "creeky" front suspensions.
As well, I find it noisy at speed compared with other cars I've had.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Saab 9-5?
Very solid car when driving at high speeds on highways. Great gas mileage when on cruise control on highway as well. Sound system is excellent. I live in the Northeast and kids love riding in car as the rear seats are heated.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Saab 9-5?
Diesel and all-wheel drive. I would hope that the combo keeps the mileage in the 30+ range that I am getting on highway. A bit tighter in the gear box and a little less road noise.
2007 Saab 9-5 Review:
Overall a great value for the money, my cost was less than $30k before taxes. I could not come close to that price point w/others in class, nor get the gas mileage. As I mainly drive on highways, this car has incredible pickup when I need to move from 70 to 90 to get away from pack.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Saab 9-5?
New updates from 2006 dont flow well,
2007 Saab 9-5 Review:
This car does everything well, but little great. This in a field with BMW, Audi and Infiniti doing almost everything perfectly. If the rebates hold up then it is woth a look, but for $40K there are better cars.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Saab 9-5?
I own the 2007 Sport Wagon The performance is great with plenty of pick-up. Very sporty exterior and good interior features and layout. Comfortable seating front and rear. Loads of room in the rear compartment. Lots of fun to drive and good gas mileage to boot.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Saab 9-5?
Move the ignition from the center console in order to accomodate more cup holders.
2007 Saab 9-5 Review:
I've only owned the car a couple of weeks and I have no complaints what-so-ever. The turbo four provides all the power you'd ever need. For a car with great performance you also get the benefit of good gas mileage. A lot of car for the money and it stacks up very well against the more expensive competition. Some of the so-called experts should be ashamed of themselves giving an obvious fine vehicle such average reviews. Maybe it simply comes down to the fact it's owned by a US company. The 2007 Saab 9-5 Sport Wagon is definitely worth considering.
