In my experience Audis are finicky. Bimmers are great but if you're tall or have to carry people you need at least a 5 series. Mercs are wonderful, probably the most solid cars on the road, and incredibly durable, but seem to lack any bit of uniqueness. I find the seats lack lumbar support.
Saabs are very individualistic. The hatchback (9-3) is a real advantage. The newer cars don't seem as reliable as the old ones, though.
Lease turnbacks are great deals, but if you have to buy new, run the numbers on a lease. You may find that if you buy your lease car you will wind up buying the car in 3 yrs for about $4K under book value. That means even after financing the purchase, you have gotten a great deal.
