What's New for the 2005 Saab 9-2X?
The new 2005 Saab 9-2X is the latest entry in the sport wagon category, marrying the performance of a sports sedan with the utility of a station wagon. A massaged version of Subaru's Impreza 2.5TS and WRX, the 2005 Saab 9-2X features unique styling, its own wheel design and special interior bits to separate it from its Japanese cousin.
Advantages of the 2005 Saab 9-2X:
- Potent turbocharged inline four in the Aero
- Spacious cabin is nicely appointed
- Cargo convenience of a wagon
- All-wheel-drive security
- Sporty suspension tuning that isn't harsh
Objections to the 2005 Saab 9-2X: - Aero's 2.0-liter engine bogs until turbo kicks in
- Little to justify price premium over a Subaru WRX
Editor's Advice:
Here's what a few grand extra gets you by selecting the Saab 9-2X over the Subaru Impreza and Subaru WRX: softer suspension tuning, more refined styling, and upgraded interior materials. Whether the added expense is worthwhile is entirely up to you. At least you'll know that your new Saab benefits from Subaru's legendary reputation for reliability.
