Why would anyone buy one when you can have a BMW he asks well unlike the E34 which was a good looking car, the E39 isn't, the 9-5 was one of the best looking to the German competition, being Swedish it would undoubtedly be safe and be able to boast the levels of reliability that could only be beaten by a Lexus. So why Jeremy asks? Why not? Individuality, safety, reliability are just a few reasons I can think of.
Great demo. Just to add my input in case anyone is still looking for this information. A full standard scuba tank is generally 220bar (3200psi) or 300bar (4350psi). A standard scuba regulator is set to permit 10bar (145psi) to pass on a low pressure (LP) port so your tool will be charged with that pressure until the tank pressure falls below it, you should never completely empty a high-pressure vessel anyway as this will cause condensation and rust inside. Note that you will need to have access to a scuba store to refill the tank with "clean dry air", the tank and valve will also require regular service and testing for safety purposes, this is a legal requirement and the shop cannot fill an out of test cylinder. The amount of air used will depend upon the tool being used and the pressure. 10bar (145psi) is the standard setting for scuba regulator but this can be adjusted lower or higher, a lower pressure on the LP port will permit longer use but less power. The length of time the air will last depends upon the tool you are using, think of the air pressure as a battery. If you run a drill or a grinder you might get 15 to 20 minutes, for a nail gun you will probably get several hours of constant use.
It's true Saab's do have the brightest headlights in the world and they are weird cars the more you drive them the more you love the machine. Not showy but built as something practical and reliable with a lovely turbo, 2 years of owning 93X and I can't think of another car I'd rather use every day!
Clarkson is not a very serious car reviewer. He could drive a SAAB 9-5 and race it against my own SAAB 9-5, and we could see who would get the best lap time! 😃
I own both a 9-5 and a 9-3 convertible and both are outstanding cars. Maybe they don't have the flash of Mercedes and BMW but that's what I personally like about it. The ability to have luxury but still blend in enough none is stealing your hood ornament and you don't get pulled over near as often.
The car was never tuned. Factory completely, only, it had a built-in Lpg system. This was 10 years ago. I drove it for 9 years and it was always fast. My friend is driving the car now. The engine died, but he made it
My first car, the 2001 9-5 turbo , it was handed down to me for high school. I always thought it was the coolest car, from the cup holder, down to the fighter jet placement of the key ignition switch. Great first car.
I love the way this sounds like friends hanging out just singing together from the heart not trying so hard to perform. It captures a comfortable feel of being home.
I love Saab’s had both 9-3’s saloon and convertible all Aeros that run a stage 1 remap very quick and still think the convertible is the best looking convertible out there even now, I’ve got a 2007 9-5 Aero in manual now and it’s running a stage 3 tune so it’s got awesome power I love seeing the surprised look on other drivers (BMW Audi etc ) when you show them Saab power when their cars cost so much more money
My name is Hassan Kamugisha , I am in Rwanda Kigali , I have the and love my care Saab 9 -5 but I would like to know how I can buy and receive some damaged spare from my Saab 9-5 is made 1999
