Hi John,
"Why the hesitation?"
1. Lack of full front & rear side curtains.
2. Per CR's road test: "Handling is sound & secure but not very agile. The ride is stiff and buoyant. The cabin is relatively noisy for a car in this class."
3. For the "upscale sedan" class the highest rated car was an Acura TL with a score of 90, and the lowest was a Volvo S60 with a score of 58. The 9-5 ranked second lowest with a score of 64.
4. Per CR latest subscriber survey (> 1M total respondents), 9-5 = average reliability.
Despite #s 1 - 4, CR did give their top tier recommendation to the 9-5.
5. I hear Saabs are more $$$ to repair. Is this true?
6. GM's poor financial health.
The above is not ment to be a slam to the 9-5 or its owners. Rather this is just a honest, factual answer to your specific question. I'm interested in 9-5 owner's opinions that may differ with CR's assessment which is why I've been visiting Saabnet.
Thanks,
Chasman
