Greetings from nyc. i've owned 4 saabs, the most recent being a 2000 9-3 SE coming off its 3 year lease. I love everything about it except that it's showing some warning signs so i'm sort of glad it's time to give it back. I'm dreadfully sorry they did away with the hatchback and i'm not prepared to wait a year for the saab-uru, which will probably be too small anyway. So i'm about to take the sedan plunge and get the 9-5 linear with the accessory package. But, I'm hearing all sorts of bad things about it. So i turn it over to you, the master forum people to steer me straight. I've heard it's sort of flat even though it has the same hp as my 9-3 SE. i've heard the compass mirrors are a joke and the side view mirrors reset themselves all the time and it's crap on gas and the electrical system is suspect and the a/c isn't that great and it voted against school vouchers and it's a member of al qaeda and, well, you get the picture. mind you that besides my family, i have no greater love than i do for saabs. so i'm in a quandary. any good info, links to well researched reviews, etc., will be much appreciated. thanks. tubro
