It is not quite as nimble to drive as the best European's (BMW for example), but still very good. Gas mileage is just amazing, and I can't complain about performance neither. Are you looking at 2.0, 2.0 Turbo or TiD? If you are looking for gas burner, choose one with Turbo. TiD is pretty nice car, too, especially from gas mileage perspective. This is my first Saab, and I have to noticed that unlike some other cars, Saab has been _designed_, not just built. It is designed to be driven and used, but it is also designed to be serviced. Basic services are just ridiculously easy to do! It seems to have some features, like creeking suspension in cold mornings, but all those can be fixed. Go for it! BTW; trunk, that is just amazing!
