Under the hood
It runs the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated at 11.6 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 35 litres. Every 100 km costs about $17.98 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 9-4 answers the big questions. A test week in the 9-4 tells you more than any review.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $179.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.98 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
When you know your dates
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 Saab 9-4 from us first.
