I drove all of the above except for the WRX, could not find a close dealer that had one yet (Northeast Area). All mentioned cars above are nice in there own ways, but from reading I think the WRX would be the closest to a SAAB as a daily driver comfortable car- and with AWD!
It is too bad SAAB waited so long to deliver an AWD performance car, or maybe even a 9-3/9-5 with limited slip differential! I think this was a big mistake of their marketing guys. Lets look at the history, SAAB comes up with one of the fastest, if not the fastest, full size sedan car, the beloved 9000 Aero, that blows everyone’s minds. It is not just fast, it is one of the safest cars and very environmentally friendly 4 cylinders and 34 MPG!
From there on they lost the Turbo small engines market, they where the leaders and now they do not have any car that can compete in performance. So what, they come up with a 6 cylinders Aero!!! Big deal, they should have stayed with there amazing 2.0 or 2.3 4 cylinders and developed it further. Even if you want a Turbo X you can not get one or afford one so for me the Turbo X does not even exists.
How long can a loyal SAAB owner wait?
