For This is a fine engine, and the low emissions appeal to company users. Plus, it has the best residuals of any 9-5 and plenty of kit: leather upholstery, climate control, alloy wheels and ESP.
Against The performance isn’t exactly scintillating, and when the engine is revved hard, the tone turns grumbly.
What Car? says
It's not the cheapest model in the range, but the extra flexibility of the engine, the good fuel economy and low emissions make it our favourite model.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
There's only a small range to choose from, but we'd suggest you limit your choice to just one: the diesel. It may not be the quickest version, but it has just the kind of low-rev grunt you need in an estate.
Also consider taking out Saab's Service and Maintenance Plan, which is something special in that it covers not only servicing, but also wear and tear items for the first three years after a new car is registered.
That means not being billed for tyres, brakes, exhaust or routine servicing, as well as being covered for essential repair work to wear and tear items that may be identified between services - and any work subsequent to your Saab failing its first MoT test.
You can also start a plan if you have already purchased a new Saab, and it is within six months of registration and has less than 1000 miles on the clock.
