Saab 9-5 Aero Estate - Barge (ish)
Discussion
I've been reading PH for too long, I wanted a new car, ideally auto and estate so of course opted for a 9-5 aero!
I think it was a good find, 2007, estate, auto, 110,000miles, service history,10months MOT, newish tyres, mix matched, but you cannot have it all! Only £2500
I was switching from a 2002 BMW 530d salon auto m sport, which I loved. I'd put 55,000miles on it in 2.5yrs but it was dying (upto 180,000) with the option to work a little more from home and some man maths enable me to switch back to petrol.
The bmw was a great car, had the upgraded seats which were amazing, the saab seats feel more sporty and hugging but not as comfortable on longer journeys. The bmw is also better handling, could be just getting used to front wheel drive again (previously I've had an a6 quattro & C32 AMG over the past 8yrs) but cornering feels very different, more pulling you round than pushing. bmw was still very smooth and interior felt better put together but the saab has more gadgets
The saab engine is good though, pulls fast, quick enough when needs to be and not a bad cruiser. Loads more room in the rear seats than the bmw, handy with a baby on the way.
I've only had if for a couple of weeks but first 500miles and I'm really liking it
