What Car? says
For Massive boot, spacious cabin, smooth and refined ride
Against Not as entertaining as rivals, bigger engine too powerful for chassis
Verdict A good all-rounder, and cheap - a cracking used buy
Go for… 2.3-litre turbocharged petrol
Avoid… Aero HOT
- 1. Check for uneven tyre wear, because the suspension is a reported weak point
- 2. Don't touch the 250bhp 2.3 HOT Aero. It's too expensive to buy and struggles to cope with its power
- 3. Check all the electrics and switches work properly - they are the 9-5's weakest point
- 4. The boot is a good size and shape
- 5. The cabin is roomy, comfortable and generally well screwed-together
