The 9-2X has had no need for repairs and runs well. The 9-2X is essentially a Subaru Impreza which has a great reliability record as well. Strong and reliable motor and drivetrain.
Lots of storage room with or without the backseats laid down.
Sleek, aerodynamic appearance. Looks more like a sedan, though this is a wagon.
All wheel drive adds to the sense of security while driving in inclement weather.
Saab modified the shocks from the Subaru Impreza to help dampen road harshness. The change is noticeable and much improved. Although not to the level of a luxury sedan, the ride is very smooth and comfortable.
