#1039 of 1068 Same for me by rs9904 Mar 18, 2007 (7:29 am)
About 4 months 4,000 miles with my 06 sportcombi. Gets great highway mileage and ok city when warmed up. Powerful and comfortable. Only complaint so far is a speaker cover that pops out on the dash and a rattle behind the instrument panel. Both need to be fixed. I do have roof rails and used them once so far to put on a kayak.   Happy so far. 3rd Saab. (99 9-3 100k then trade for this one, 04 linear 30k.   Anthony Replies to this message: nelsoncm (Mar 24, 2007 9:55 am)

Replying to: rs9904 (Mar 18, 2007 7:29 am) I have that speaker cover problem too -- passenger side. And the same rattle behind the instrument panel. Hmmm, why do I have a feeling they're going to tell me there's nothing they can do about that rattle when I take it in? Oh well, we'll see -- it does quiet down sometimes.
#1042 of 1068 Stone deflector for 2006 any suggestions?? by azjim66 Apr 12, 2007 (9:48 am)
My 2006 combi already is sporting a dime size ding that chipped the paint just right of the grill on the lower part of the hood. I was wondering if anyone out there has had success with stone deflectors / bras?? They are pretty tough to find for Saab's.

Replying to: bcool (Apr 13, 2007 8:02 am) Thanks bcool for the link. They only list up to 2005 for 9-5's. I did email them about my options for a 2006 9-5 combi. We shall see.   Jim
#1045 of 1068 rattle behind instrument panel fixed on 06 sportcombi by nelsoncm May 12, 2007 (5:58 pm)
Hey, I finally got my wagon serviced for that obnoxious rattle/crackling sound around the instrument panel. Tech tore it apart and added "insulation" where some plastic was rubbing on metal (or so they say). All I know is rattle is gone, finally! We'll see if passenger side speaker cover and new coinsholder stays in place. This wagon has far more rattles and squeaks and odd noises than my 02 wagon, but it does drive ever so nicely. : )
#1046 of 1068 SAAB 9-5 Wagon, 2001 or 2003? by xiaodonger Jun 01, 2007 (1:14 pm)
I got the info from MSN,they said the reliability for 9-5 wagon made in 2003 is better than 2002 and 2001.But, I still got the info from JD Power, they said the reliability for 9-5 wagon made in 2001 is better than 2002 and 2003. It really confused me. Anyone can help me? I'm gonna buy it soon. Thanks. Replies to this message: saablcp (Jun 02, 2007 7:46 am)

Replying to: xiaodonger (Jun 01, 2007 1:14 pm) And if you mix in Consumer Reports you'll likely get a third opinion to further confuse you!lol!My suggestion is this: go from the general to the specific....and by that I mean put more weight on future reliability for either of these individual specific cars by checking their service and warranty histories.I am presuming you are buying from a Saab dealer and if so this info should be readily available .I strongly advise you go this route rather than a private party transaction.Also the '03 could still be available for Saab Certified used car warranty coverage providing it has less than 60k.miles.If that is the case buy it as a certified car and the choice is clear.
#1048 of 1068 Exhaust system 2001 95 SE by massaab Jun 14, 2007 (3:18 pm)
Is the factory exhaust my only option on my 2001 95 SE Wagon with the V6 3 Litre engine? Do any of the muffler chains carry a muffler for this vehicle? If not, how much should I expect to pay for a replacement factory unit?
