That is my experience with a '02 205hp 2.0 turbo, too. *Great* mileage with fuel control on, merely satisfactory (though brilliant compared to my wife's Merc ML, mind you) around town. But that might be because you have to be gandhi to not regularly want to indulge in a bit of a turbo rush, and then you've got to pay... As to the original psoeter's question... I am extremely happy with my Saab (and it replaced a Jag XJR), but it's all about your personal likes/dislikes. Drive it and compare. It is a very different value proposition from the more vanilla entry luxury choice, which the new 9-3 sedan has now abandoned. Furthermore, used, they are about some of the best deals you can get. If your likes and your financial savviness direct you that way, would think you'll be happy. They're well put together and they'll last. The comments you hear on some issues are the usual nags from perfectionists on the net. :-) [gentlemen - note the smiley. It's cool to be a perfectionist, anyhow.] ...pablo
