1: Get the 2000 9-5. The 1999 model had some bugs that were worked out in the 2000. Also you can get the 200 hp upgrade kit for the 2000.
2: The 9-5 is one of the better if not the best SAAB out. As with any car, there have been some problems, but most have been worked out. Do not be misled by the boards. People post when they have a problem, not when everything if fine. Somewhere on the site is a list of high milage SAABS.
3: You will need snow tires. The wide low profile tires that come stock are just no good in snow. On the other hand, the turbo makes up for power loss due to altitude.
