I have a '03 9-3 Arc. This is my second Saab('99 9-3 SE). I put a lot of miles on my cars as a territory sales rep so I get a pretty good idea of reliability. My '99 had almost 200K on it when I traded it in and had been VERY reliable. My '03 has not been as reliable by any means. The car currently has 38K, I purchased it in Nov '03. This is my repair list so far:
-Drivers side window has failed three times falling off the track completly once and refusing to roll up twice.-Transmission(auto) was jerky and missed gears until they replaced the valve assembly last month.-Twice have had a significant amount of water coming into the passenger footwell thru the firewall.-Key fob failed stranding me and requiring a tow.-Horn is currently broken.-Door handles have faded to mostly white.-Door rattles are annoying.
This has cost me well over a month of shop time. Sad to say, this is probably my last Saab.
