I don't know exactly how the '02 figures in, but if you're going european, Saab is one of best bets. I am certainly not going to tell you that its as reliable as some of the japanese makes you mention. According to Consumer Reports Saab is considered AVERAGE OR BETTER in the reliabilty department.

European brands that rated BELOW average across the board include all Mercedes, all Audis, most bmw's, most VW's.

Consumer Reports on Reliabilty:

"Europe: Few standouts. Relatively few European cars did well. The handful showing average or better reliability are the BMW 3 Series, the Saab 9-3 and 9-5, and all Volvos except the XC90 SUV.

But all Mercedes-Benz models were below average, as were all Audis, Jaguars, Land Rovers, and the BMW 7 Series, X5 SUV, and Mini Cooper.

Volkswagen continued losing ground, with the Golf, Jetta, New Beetle, and four-cylinder Passat all worse than average. Many of the problems can be attributed to the ignition coils in the 1.8T engine shared by those cars."
