I've been looking around for a SAAB 9-2x Aero to be the follow up car to my first car. I know they're badge engineered WRX wagons, with some added refinement, but do they still have the practicality and enjoyability or their Subaru brethren, while not being as expensive to insure?

>do they still have the practicality and enjoyability or their Subaru brethren
yes
>while not being as expensive to insure
fuck if i know

The front fascia and lights are harder to find, so you might see a higher premium with insurance. Otherwise they're not bad, their suspension is softer than WRX but they have an STi steering rack stock, otherwise the car is identical mechanically.

Never got a quote on one, but I do know that they like the fact that it's a 5-door and the fact that it's a Saab, even though the only thing Saab about the whole thing is its badges. I mean honestly, why would you ever want a Saab that doesn't have an awesome cup holder?

I ask because I'm not yet 25 so I'm still getting bent over by insurance, and thought I could fly under their boiracer radar with a SAAB wagon since it's not a Honda or Subaru or any other of the cars kids like to rice and crash street racing.

Not only that, but you'd probably more likely to find a decent SAAB 9-2x as opposed to a WRX that wasn't thrashed around and sold at a ridiculous price.

Despite what I said, this is quite true. The Saabaru is also the closest thing we're ever going to get to an easily obtainable NG 9-5 SportCombi.

I thought that too but I'm struggling to find a clean manual example with low miles for less than 9-10k. I guess they're kinda rare.

YOU WILL NEVER OWN ONE

Yes, it is just a fun and practical as a WRX.

Yes, it is cheaper to insure.

But, finding one is much harder, there are very few manual Aero's available.
