I am on my third (soon to be forth) SAAB, recently I drove both the
2001 BMW 530i 5 speed and the 2001 SAAB Aero 5 speed. For the money I still think the SAAB is the better deal here in Canada. The BMW lists out for $68,700 Cdn (incl fr/pdi) while the SAAB list for $58,400 Cdn.
The BMW has by far the better gearbox, the inline six is smooth, and rear wheel drive is great to drive in good weather, BUT the 2.3 I4 Turbo with 230 BHP, 258 LB/FT of torque is brilliant, And I have dealt with the Budd family (of Oakville) for many, many years and their service is excellent.
So if you want a fast reliable sleeper and want $10,000. left in your bank account, buy the SAAB 95 Aero and enjoy................Cheers
