Cars Worth Noting - 2000 Chevrolet Impala, 1999 Volkswagen Beetle 1.8 T, 1999 Saab 9-5 Wagon - Evaluation
Filed Under Chevy Cars
Let’s get one thing straight. I normally don’t like station wagons. I’m a baby boomer, you see, so whenever I see one of these on the road I look for a sheep dog, 2.2 children and a rather comfortable house in the suburbs. That’s not the persona I want.
Now on to the new Saab 9-5 wagon. We drove it everywhere outside of San Diego. We glided through the hot, dry desert, slalomed around mountain curves and dodged in and out of traffic on the free way. Never once did the car falter. Steering and handling were superb. If you close your eyes, you could be driving a sports car.

Some engines, however, are a little better than others. The turbo 2.3L four has a bit more get up and go than the turbo 3.0L V-6. I’d get the four with a manual.
