Precise steering and excellent high-speed stability make the 9-5 a great companion for covering distances in a hurry. A new five-speed automatic transmission is available for all models that works superbly with the engines to deliver excellent response. Saab 9-5 seats are very supportive and the interior is nicely designed with clever solutions to ergonomic problems. A roomy rear seat makes this a comfortable car for four adults.

With its high-output turbocharged engine, the Aero model puts a lot of power under the pedal for quick, throttle response at highway speeds. This makes the Aero an absolute delight for working through fast traffic.
