The overview
Saab's 9-5 is a competent car with capable and secure handling. A major 2010 redesign produced a car that wasn't as well rounded as previous 9-5s. It handles fairly nimbly and has great fit and finish, but the 220-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine is noisy and a little weak for the class. A stiff ride and the cramped cockpit didn't help either. Sales were meager. The brand was discontinued after 2011.
