People either love or hate Saabs because of their typically quirky design. To the Swedish automaker’s credit, it has resisted going mainstream with styling, and for 2006, Saab has refreshed the 9-5 in keeping with the signature look of the brand while adding improved power , sharpened chassis dynamics, and an upgraded interior. Under the hood, the 9-5 extracts ten more horsepower from its 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and torque is increased to 258 lb.-ft. Power is run through your choice of a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic with Saab’s Sentronic manual gear selection via steering wheel buttons. If you enjoy a car with a great combination of sportiness and luxury and prefer a vehicle that exudes unique style and design, the 2006 Saab 9-5 may just be a vehicle you should consider when making your next automotive purchase.
