I actually bought the 9-5 and then within two weeks decided to trade it for another car. The seats in the 2005 9-5 were uncomfortable for a 200 lb. adult. The seats in the older Saabs that I have owned were much better. The car performed very well, and this car has plenty of acceleration with the Turbo...with little lag. Cornering and manuvering was excellent. Overall design of this car is excellent. A bit expensive when compared to other vehicles in this class.
