One of the few things I don't like about my Saab are all the strange creaking noises I hear.

Best Reason to Buy the Saab 9-5: Driving position & visibility
Too many cars nowadays have visibility like squatting in a rain barrel. The Saab 9-5 doesn't. I'm rather short, and yet I can still keep the seat in its lowest position and still have a great view out. Seats are amazing too.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Saab 9-5: Quietness
It's loud. And not always the good kind of loud either. I rather enjoy a bit of engine noise, but it gets excessive and transmission whine is a problem too.

Other Reasons to Buy the Saab 9-5: Powertrain performance, Fuel economy, Controls and instruments, Handling

Best Reason to Buy the Saab 9-5: Exterior styling
One of the more stylish vehicles in its class. Looks smaller than it actually is. The exterior is nothing like a Buick Lacrosse and looks nothing like anything else in its price range.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Saab 9-5: Insurance & depreciation
With Saab going bankrupt the 9-5 may not have high resale value. Insurance on the other hand has not been a problem and am not paying much more than any other vehicle.

Best Reason to Buy the Saab 9-5: Driving position & visibility
Tall or midget, fat or slim - will find an excellent driving position. Everything is within easy reach. Excellent heated outside mirrors, small(-ish) blind spots.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Saab 9-5: Ride smoothness
While basic Arc suspension setup is excellent, Aero was made overly harsh and bumpy, to the point where it affect it stablility on grooved tracks. Soft tires are a must.
