We have a 99 V70 GLT and 01 9.5 sedan. Here are the differences I see.
Cost was within $1000 canadian between the two.
Warranty is the same. Room in both is very similar. Volvo seems a bit bigger in the back seat. Both cars optioned out similar.
Volvo LPT is quicker or at least appears so
Volvo has better seats
V70 can have third row seats, ours does
Volvo stereo is better
Volvo has better carpets and door panels
Volvo service is far better than Saab (in our city anyway)
Volvo is a more comfortable highway or long trip car
Saab is tighter handling and ride and seems better built
Saab has power passenger seat but no memory on either
Saab has heated rear seats
Saab is more fun to drive around town
Saab is the better looking of the two.
I enjoy both cars but I prefer to drive the Saab.
