Summary
What does this car say about you?
It's got a bit of an old man's car image but people who know about them realise it's not just old people that like to drive quickly.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Impressed with the comfort, build quality and speed.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes - or the 9-3 that followed it.
What are you likely to buy next?
I bought a Laguna V6 after I'd had the Saab for 3 years. The Renault was not such a good buy.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great in a straight line. Slightly scary torque steer under heavy accessleration, until you got used to it - the car would feel like it wanted to dart left then right but always went straight. Suspension too soft for real fun on twisty roads. It's a great motorway car (as is the 9-3 that replaced it).
What's it like to park?
A bit big and not too easy to judge where the back ends.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing except the usual routine stuff you'd expect to do on a car that does 10,000 miles a year. I'd say it was exceptionally reliable.
What's most practical about your car?
Huge boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
None. Well maybe the seats - they're so comfy and supportive.
