If safety is your thing, which it must be or you wouldn't be considering these two cars, pick a Saab over a Volvo. The latest IIHS stats give the 99-02 9-3 the equivalent rating of the best Volvo sedan (S60) Volvo's newest model ties Saab's oldest. The 9-5 is rated as being safer than the 9-3. Last year my daughter was driving her 99 9-3 and got hit head on by a drunk in a Daihatsu Chirade. Both were doing about 65 mph at night and the drunk didn't have on her headlights. The drunk was instantly killed and my daughter walked away with a sprained ankle. See more on Saabs Save Lives on this bb if you care.
I'm not even sure now that Volvos are safer than Audis. I think I would take an Audi over Volvo now for safety reasons.
