The Saab 9-5 is a luxury mid-sized sport sedan based on either Turbo4 front wheel drive or Turbo6 XWD. The 9-5 version was launched by the Swedish manufacturer as a possible alternative to Audi A6, BMW 5 and Mercedes Benz E-Class. Being much cheaper than the Benz the new 9-5 Saab is more attractive for keen drivers.
The 9-5 is available in the following colours: arctic white, carbon grey metallic, java metallic (evidently looking like brown), silver, glacier, diamond, oak metallic, (obviously plain brown), laser red (the only bright colour though resembling a fire engine).
We can summarize the following advantages and drawbacks of the new Saab 9-5:
For:
Unusual aerodynamic design
Comfy seats with outstanding heaters
Spacious interior
Driver-oriented console
Good price compared to the BMW-5 and Benz-E Class
Turbo4/6 speed combo well satisfies the driver’s needs
Due to its outstanding comfort and large space it is perfectly fit for a long-distance drive
Against:
Not too versatile pallet
No 6-speed manual on the Turbo6 XWD
The price for Audi 6 is nearly the same.
The above shows there are more advantages than the drawback so we hope the new Saab 9-5 will soon win favour with potential customers.
