My 9-5 lease comes up in June and I intend to consider both the 9-5 and the 9-3 as replacements. The 9-5 is virtually the same car as my 2000 9-5. The good part of that is that it should be more reliable, it will be the 5th year of that models cycle. The bad part is it's virtually the same car; not much new car buzz, therefore. The 9-3 is newer technology and smaller (although adequate for my needs) but I'm concerned about the reliability of a 1st year Saab. Any advice would be appreciated; especially regarding reliability experience with the new 9-3's. Thanks. Don
