My family has been driving only Saabs since 1985. I just bought our 12th Saab. It is a 2002 9-5 Aero and it would blow the doors and fenders off my 1977 Porsche 911S Targa (RIP). Each of our 3 daughters drives a Saab. My 1989 9000T went 297,000 miles on the origanl head gasket, starter, alternator, fuel pump, etc. No one has made a car than beats Saabs in regard to safety, utility, economy (mpg), longevity, reliability, and driving fun when all are considered as one. No one!
