We love our 2005 9-5 Aero. My wife drives it to and from work, and I get to drive it from time to time. Like someone else said, we often find ourselves saying, "this is a great car." In our climate, we appreciate the traction/stability control, heated seats (front and rear), and the good heater. The Aero seats are terrific. We went out of our way to get one with a manual transmission, and it's a pleasure to use, with light clutch effort and smooth shifting. I know of no other car that combines the fuel economy, performance, handling, and interior/trunk room of the Saab 9-5. I also think the styling is very classy and distinctive.
My only complaints are that it could use about another inch of front headroom, and some of the interior plastic pieces are cheap looking and feeling. I also don't care for having to put it into reverse to get the key out, but I guess that's a Saab thing.
John.
