2010 Saab 9-5 Vector Hirsch TiD - My first look and test drive

So in today's video, I'm looking at a 2010 Saab 9-5 Vector with the A20DTH 2.0 Turbo-Diesel engine. This is the first time I'm trying out an NG9-5, and I must say; I'm really impressed! Good comfort, decent power from the 2.0 diesel, and a very nice all-around driver's car.

The green needles in the gauges are a really cool touch.

Just bought one myself. But I am USA so no diesels. 2.0 turbo petrol. I think 220hp. 6spd automatic. Fun car. Big and posh. Not racy like my previous 9-3

Den siste 9-5 eller generelt den siste Saab er bare nydelig å se på👌

Very cool car, but engine needs at least another 50hp its slower in that 50-100km/h pull than my 1.5dci 110hp..

Yes, but bear in mind that this Saab weighs almost 1.9 tonnes. It takes a lot of torque to get it up to speed. But I would say that 9.6 seconds from 0-100 is not bad for a base model 2.0 single-turbo diesel. Also, the acceleration in this video was done with a slight incline.

What is the aftermarket interface mounted on your dash?

[@TurboNerd1302]

Hi. That's a DAB Radio adapter. So we get digital radio on our FM only radio cars :)

Engine is Fiat, but yes, many parts have GM stamped on them, which is good, because parts are plentiful and cheap. My 9-3 replacement (re-manufactured) Turbo cost £245 exchange and took me a couple of hours to fit, brake calipers are £35 a piece and rear ARB bushes are £8 for the pair, £10 for drop links and £30 for a wheel bearing. Best bargain I found was a front spring at £11.50 brand new, old stock, and dead easy to work on.
