Saab 9-5 Aero Review - The Elan Valley Road Trip Special (Featuring Jimmy Eat World - Your House)

I took a Saab 9-5 Aero out to the Elan Valley... here's the mini documentary and review of the car, as well as a whole heap of scenery and commentary. The music (without the words) is Jimmy Eat World - Your House, from the album Bleed American, which is probably my favourite album of all time...

Great video. Loved the road trip format. These 9-5s are such good cars. Real shame that Saab is no longer with us. Their cars weren't objectively better than the competition but once you had one, they got you hooked. Just something likeable about them.

The Saab 9-5 is like a Swedish army knife, versatile, capable and has a keen edge. The 2002 on models have deeper seat bolsters to keep you in place while blasting past caravans.

My early Aero awaits for me when Im done with my 12h swifts and it's always a pleasure driving It back home. No better place to be at when you are so tired. Also if you want to have fun, this car will let you with a big smile in your face.

Nice vid. Great car. Keep your 9-5s in shape, like I do with my 9-5 Estate. This car is not just a car, its a statement!

Bloody love these! I’ve had about 8 or so within the last few years.

Currently have a 2005 9-3 Aero Hirsch Stage 2, a 2005 9-5 shark tooth Aero HOT with all options, and a 2004 9-5 Vector Sport manual wagon.

Wonderful cars.

As a SAAB enthusiast and potential soon-to-be 9-5 Aero owner, I found this review to be incredibly insightful. I had no idea Ewan McGreor was so funny! 😅 Jokes aside, thanks Geoff for this honest review of the Saab (and the cornish pastie). The review was helpful, as I do a lot of long driving stretches and need a replacement after my 2004 9-3 died. Happy motoring and safe travels ✌🏻

Love Saab. I have a 2006 93 Aero 210hp.Only ever had one advisory for tyres. All parts original with the exception of the throttle body, a caliper and a rear spring which snapped and I only realised when it was hoisted up for a fuel filter! Now at 138k miles and going strong.

Editing on this is fantastic. Very nice video. And I think I fell in love with the turbo spool on the SAAB.

Had this exact car but with grey interior. from 2003-2008. Miss it so much. Stage 2, was a sleeper

Another great video, yeah definitely more road trips.... also I completely agree with you, the red aero wagon mid range was awesome that car was bloody quick 😁

[declanbrady]

Great video. Great car. Great presenter👏👏👏

Love the 9-5, got a OG 9-3 convertible LPT, supposedly only 154 bhp but feels more at times. Impressed with refinement of B204 engine too . Saab still put their input into building individual cars and not following the modern manufacturing norm to make something as cheap as possible.

I have a manual 2004 9-5 Arc, same engine as Aero, only slightly de-tuned with a less sporty suspension. I've always loved Saab and even worked for a Saab dealer for a while. I bought this 9-5 with low mileage to mostly go on summer road trips in Canada. It's such a great highway car. It's also very capable in winter conditions, which is important where I live; it's from Sweden after all! Its beautiful looks is the cherry on top. They're quite rare over here and it will definitively turn the heads of car enthusiasts.

love those wheels. fits the og 9-5 shape so well

[leebrown]

Awesome video more please 🙌 lovely motor too

[stephenstone]

Another great video saab is a yes from me a great car😊😊😊

[Buffalobulltofta]

A sorted 9-5 is such a great car. These first generation pre -02 ones have something special going on, very well put together, more of the 9000 solidity and fit and finish. Sad that it's getting real hard to find a good one.

[davidwright]

Enjoyed the video and thought it all looked familiar, indeed mine's a 2001 9-5 Aero with a stick and 62K on the clock. But the real familiarity was the Elan valley which I did on a Douglas Dragonfly in 1963, It looks a lot more touristy these days. I wish I could bring mine home and do it again. Thank you.

I have 2006 95 2.3T Universal imported from USA. It's like AERO, but for USA market universals models were called Sport wagon.
