Is the Saab 9-7X a good car to buy?
Although the 9-7X runs in the company of such vehicles as the Volkswagen Touareg and Volvo XC90, its resale values do not. On the other hand, the 9-7X does hold its value better than the GM vehicles with which it shares a platform.
What’s the price of a Saab 9-7X Trailblazer?
There’s a price problem, too. The V-8-powered 9-7X starts at $41,240 (the inline-six knocks the price down $2000), which is $10,380 more than a V-8 TrailBlazer. Even worse, since the 9-7X’s introduction, a better GMT360 has been released – the TrailBlazer SS, powered by the Corvette’s 6.0-liter V-8.
Is the GMT360 better than the Saab 9-7X?
Even worse, since the 9-7X’s introduction, a better GMT360 has been released – the TrailBlazer SS, powered by the Corvette’s 6.0-liter V-8. For $35,850, the 395-hp SS thrashes the Saab in a straight line, trimming the 0-to-60 run by 1.8 seconds, down to 5.5.
How does a Saab feel on the road?
On the road, the Saab feels considerably more composed, with stiffer shocks and springs that go a long way to calm excess body motions, a steeper steering ratio that gets rid of some on-center slop, and stiffer calipers combined with a more aggressive pedal ratio that help to alleviate a previously soft brake.
