I bought a 2003 9-5 Aero new, sold it 2 years ago with 206k miles. It was an awesome car. There wasn't really anything weird about it, just token stuff like the ignition being in the center console. The rest of what people thought was weird was really just thoughtful engineering and design, and things that Saab was way ahead of the game with. A sports sedan with a turbo 4 cylinder instead of a V6?
