That's usually a good thing, since people tend to post only when they complain or have problems :-) I've got a 2003 9-3, but it's the convertible, so probably not what you're looking for, since it's still the old chassis. No problems, and nothing but a joy to drive, for what it's worth. I've heard many good things and only a few bad about the new sedans. One thing I noticed while researching Saabs is that when people had problems, the real problem was not the car so much as their dealership - all cars will have occasional defects, and the dealership can really make or break the experience. I haven't had to deal with mine yet (VOB Saab, Rockville, MD), other than the purchase. And since I purchased through the GM employee program, I can't really rate them there either, since there was no haggling. Definitely don't rule them out on account of not seeing much discussion.
