I've owned a 95 9000CS for ~4 years now. Its been dead reliable. I was thinking about buying a pickup as a third car but decided after seeing the prices and safety records to buy a 1999 9-5 wagon leftover instead. Now the 9000 is the spare. They are very good cars, safe, reliable and probably the most fuel efficient large (at least by euopean standards) car ever made. Given the fuel economy, there quite a bit quicker than you'd think. The 2.3 is an absolutely wonderful engine. The Wagon has a Mercedes-like feel to it (yes I've owned them). I love my 911 a bit more in the summer, but when the snow flies, I glad theres a couple of Saabs in the driveway.
