~ holy crap it is fast ! My friends love it and i love having the ability to past people on the freeway easily. I can overpower cars with V8 motors and this thing is a rocket !!!

Love these, currently on my 3rd 9-5, a 2005 Aero HOT in Espresso. Also have a 2001 OG 9-3 Aero HOT and a 2005 9-3 SS Hirsch Stage 2 factory car. Love SAAB.

Nice! i drive a 2005 9-5 Aero sedan stage 3 Ethanol "Maptun performance" with a performance intercooler, (315 Hp 450 nm). In the winter instead i drive my 2004 9-5 AERO wagon manual stage 1 "Nordic performance" with a performance intercooler ( 270 hp 400 nm). Great cars and with snowtires on them really good for winte. I live in sweden. They are cheap performance cars here. If you decide to upgrade engine (stage 1 and forward) i recommend switching the stock intercooler for a performance one, since the stock one is not sufficant! BTW the car shown in the video only got 120000 km, nice!

Yes man it is , whats your problem? Next time he might film on your driveway

My mom has owned several 9-5s and 9-3s. They were quite unreliable (Probably with how she drives), but the one thing that she had to say that she loved with them was how comfortable the seats were. My dad has owned several 9-3s, and a few 9000s and the one that he currently owns is an NG 900 Cabriolet that he has owned for 13 years. I personally LOVE them and love the 900. There's a chance when I get my driver's license that I get the 900 because he sort of wants a new car but doesn't want to just sell the old one to another person (The last time he did that, the 9-3 got junked and he still loves it). The school where I study in becoming a car mechanic as well owns a 2003 9-5 that's quite base. It just drives and we work on it when it's needed (Not often)

I've also had my ng900 for 13 years. 215.000k -> 340k. Full performance suspension, bigger turbo, intercooler, short shifter, clutch upgrade, etc. She's been super reliable. Got me stranded once when the fuel pump died (upgrade time. One of the upgrade times 😁). Bought it for $1100 and learned to work on cars from it. Also learned to drive a manual. I raced an autocross race in it. I built a sleeping platform and camped at a ski resort in it.

Seriously handsome vehicle. Great review.

These are great cars if maintained properly. Did anyone ever do a PCV lift kit on this car you sold? They are notorious for sludge issues.

@ClutchKickOfficial

Hey John, great question. If I remember correctly, mine had the updated factory PCV that prevented the notorious sludge issues. I believe that was done in the mid 2000's or something like that, long before I purchased it.

Just love my 2004 Aero Wagon. 205000 miles and going strong ! Yes, she does drink fuel in town 14L/100km, on a long run she’ll do 10. But as I’ve had her remapped by Maptun to run on E85, she’s cheap to run in France because E85 is half the price of regular unleaded here in France. ‘Nuff said 😂

THISSSSSSSS ISSSS SICKKKKKK.

Maybe a small correction: even though the post-2005 facelift 9-5 might look to be more GM, the head unit and the optional navigation are still Saab exclusive and the same as what could be found in late pre-facelift models. The gauge cluster is an updated look but also typical saab with the large speedometer and a switch to green backlight instead of the orange. Greetings from a 2007 9-5 owner :)

Great cars. I had my dad’s 1999 2.0t saloon until last summer when it was replaced with a 2004 Aero wagon. One strange thing (to me) is that in the saloon there’s a « ski trap » behind the rear armrest which means you can carry long loads (like skis) without folding the rear seat. I can’t really understand why the wagon doesn’t have this, at least my 2004 doesn’t. Does yours?

@ClutchKickOfficial

Жыл бұрын

Huh... that's an interesting oversight. I also did not have a ski pass through. I guess the idea is you would fold down the single seat to accomplish the same thing but still fit two people in the rear?

Fun fact, you mentioned the panel looks like a plane. Thats exactly what Saab wanted it to be, the night panels color is also green, which most aircrafts have. Saab is one of the worlds largest manufacturers still to this date when it comes to planes. The cars were made to look smiliar to planes with the interior.
