Saab - Why do you like them?
Discussion
Just purchased a 9-5 Aero estate with the manual gearbox
As people have said, it just feels 'right' and the power is there for when you need it most, overtaking.
When you want a family car, which is uber comfy, and feels special, I've found the Saab to be it. I'm definitely hooked, there is just something about it.

My Saab will never be seen as 'proper' by the enthusiasts as its a GM special, but it is still a lovely place to be. I have just driven 150 miles back to the southwest from London village.
Despite dealing with numpties on the roads, heavy traffic and all the other jazz that blights driving these days I have arrived fresh and appreciate the car even more. Its true that they really do grow on you, something about the way it does what it does. Shame there is nothing I think I could replace it with at the moment, so i'll just keep it

SAABs are driven by well educated, sensible, nice people.
And best of all, they aren't German.

No offence OP but if you have to ask you aren't likely to get it
Someone summed it up perfectly - it just gets better and better the longer you have it. It's like your favourite ratchet or a particular screwdriver you find yourself reaching for over others in the tool box. It just feels right in a way that is hard to explain but also in a way that you don't feel you need to justify.
Waved goodbye to mr impatient who was flashing his lights and tailgating me in a brand new Octavia VRS today which sits in a similar vein in a lot of ways... Didn't even have to floor it. Just made me smile to myself.
