My son wrote off my 9-5 but it saved his life. Great car. RIP SAAB

RIP Top Gear.

If you like jets, choose the Saab.
If you like tanks, choose the Volvo.

Just bought an 18 years old Black 9-5 Aero estate! It's so cool 😎

I always found the seat comfort about the same on Saab and Volvo as well as build quality. It's a shame Saab isn't around anymore. A real shame.

I would not mind 10 chinese and or korean brands go bust but it has been very difficult getting over the fact that SAAB is no more... - a saab owener

Saab placed the key in the center so that during a crash the key wont drive itself into your leg or knee causing serious damage. It also locks the gearbox so hot wiring the car and breaking the steering wheel means you cant drive the car away. unless you want to go backwards!!

I’ve owned both a 2004 Saab 9-5 and a 2004 Volvo V70. The Saab was way more fun to drive but the Volvo was a lot more reliable.

I'm amazed how he talked down the seat comfort in the V70 since that generation of Volvo seats are the most aclaimed for their comfort world wide.

Volvo and Saab'. For people that can think for themselves. If you want something at the same level as a BMW/Audi, but without the twat factor. Look no further (I have owned a Volvo, and currently own a Saab)

The seats in the 95 are business class.

About to buy a Saab Estate so this is comforting

Both are very nice cars.Far more room than in a Bimer 5,far cheaper than a Merc E and as reliable, better in every point compared to an Audi A6.As a second-hand car, both are perfect matches for someone seeking for a nice luxury estate car at a very low price.
