This is in addition to it's economy, great looks, performance, handling and cleanliness! Please see the picture of the original window sticker, listing countless features. The touring package is noted but does not indicate the actual inclusion of : bi-xenon lights, rain sensing wipers and park assist. The only known issue is some missing pixels in the radio display window. I understand this can be re-pixelated? inexpensively by a Saab dealer. I know that remanufacture shops have the display unit available for swap for about $100. I am still able to read the display pretty well. The car was very hard to photograph because it is so reflective. I think it looks even nicer in person! I will be glad to respond to any questions you may have. Below are some extracts from various 2002 reviews: The powerful engine in the 9-5 Aero delivers quick, responsive performance. Saab revised this engine for 2002 and it now produces 250 horsepower. It delivers strong acceleration from a standing start. The Aero's engine is best appreciated on the open highway, however. Squeeze down on the throttle while cruising along a 70 mph and you are instantly past that string of cars clunking along. It's easy to modulate the throttle, giving it only the power you need. Just squeeze down harder on the gas and more power sends the car smoothly ahead. Push down harder and this is one quick ride. For 2002, Saab managed to increase the horsepower of the Aero and make this power available at lower rpm and broaden the torque range all at the same time. Take the Aero out on public roads, and you'll enjoy perhaps the most refined suspension ever offered by Saab. During low-key driving on the highway or around town, the fully independent front strut/rear multilink setup provided a very comfortable ride (even with 17-inch performance tires mounted at the corners). Braking is provided by four-wheel vented disc brakes with ABS and Electronic Brake Distribution. The pedal had a progressive feel to it, and nose dive was minimal. In general, the brakes instilled feelings of confidence. In the event that safety, rather than driving enjoyment, draws your attention to the Swedish car lots, the 2002 9-5 has you covered. While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) hasn't tested it, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the 9-5 its highest rating ("good") in offset crash testing and named it a "best pick." Standard 9-5 safety features include side airbags and whiplash-reducing active head restraints for front occupants and a full set of ISOFIX child seat anchors for the rear seat. For those with small children, Saab made it really easy to access the lower child-seat anchors; simply pull up the cleverly disguised lids built into the seat cushions, and the anchor points are right there — no need to feel around for them. One caveat for owners using older child seats without tethers: the seatbelts don't switch from ALR to ELR mode by pulling the belt all the way out — you have to slide a small latch on the belt buckle to get the belt to lock. The 9-5 provides more trunk space (15.9 cubic feet) than all of its possible competitors, except for the full-size 300M. The lid employs external strut-type hinges, and a small grocery net and four cargo tie-downs are provided to secure belongings. Should you require extra space, you can use either the ski pass-through or fold flat one or both sections of the 60/40-split rear seat. The only disappointment we found back here was the temporary-size spare tire under the floor. A dual-zone automatic climate control system (with a charcoal filter) keeps the cabin comfortable, and the controls, though mounted low in the center stack, are relatively easy to use, thanks to color-coded temperature buttons that use increments of two degrees to make it quicker to get to the setting you want and a dedicated "off" button. The stereo controls are also user-friendly; check out our full review of the nine-speaker Harman-Kardon system in the 9-5 Aero. J.D. Power and Associates ranked the Saab 9-5 as the best mid-luxury car in its 2001 Initial Quality Survey, which is based on owner responses during the first three months of ownership.
