But I still _much_ prefer Saabs despite their quirky issues. Absolutely! Individual experience of a particular manufacturer can vary from one extreme to the other and be of no use to a potential buyer. A group does have the benefit of a broader range of experiences. I've had three SAABs now and I will say that none of them have ever not fired up first time, every thing, come hot summers, freezing winters or muggy days in between. That's reliability!
