Handling is what I would term "spot-on", and to be honest, although Saabs have always had a fair reputation for handling, I have to say that this one actually surpassed my expectations.
The premium, mid-sized wagon segment of the market is a hot area at the moment, and the competition is fierce. Competing with the likes of the Audi/VW, Volvo, and maybe even BMW is not an easy task for any manufacturer, but I think that GM is on a solid footing with the Saab brand.
For anyone looking for a vehicle which is sporty, yet versatile, I'd suggest a trip down to your local Saab dealer to catch an eyeful of this little Swedish number.
P.S. I heard a little rumor the other day that Saab is going to start including a CD of Abba's greatest hits in all their new vehicles...but don't let that put you off !!!
Traditional quality/values, and a very familiar feel.
A pleasant blend of styling and performance.
Not as roomy as some of the competition.
Hard plastics work great for crash helmets. Dashboards should be made of soft plastics and be nice to touch, especially Swedish ones!
