Saab 9-5 saloon (2010 – ) expert review
The all-new Saab 9-5 offers acres of space inside, decent equipment levels and a top-notch safety record. Running costs are competitive too, although dynamics are disappointingly below par.

Saab 9-3 2.0t BioPower car review
The Saab 9-3 is the mainstay of the Swedish manufacturer’s range, selling in large numbers to those who respect its understated qualities. Renowned for its durability and practicality, the Saab brand has a strong following, but competition is as strong as it gets, with impressive rivals from BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes and now the new Ford Mondeo.

Saab 9-3 saloon (2002 – ) expert review

Saab 9-5 BioPower car review
The current generation of Saab 9-5s has been plodding around for years longer than its rivals and the range is badly in need of some new blood. But that doesn’t it isn’t compelling. This bioethanol-ready model is a fine example. It can run on regular unleaded or bioethanol E85, which comes from renewable agricultural sources. Does the latest 9-5 have anything going for it besides its green credentials?

Saab 9-3 Convertible (2003 – ) expert review
The Saab 9-3 convertible is a subtle and stylish drop-top, but it's starting to show its age. Performance and handling are also below average for this segment too.

Saab saga continues
Like a gripping novel, the Saab story, both here and in Sweden continues with its series of twist and turns. As a number of companies (Youngman, Brightwell-holdings and an as yet un-named European automobile manufacturer) continue to try and save the brand, the dealer network is unravelling.
