I own a 9-5 SE 2000 (V6). When I bought the car I had a slight preference for the V6 over the I4. The V6 seemed a little smoother me but it may be my experience with previous 4 cylinder engines. Previous 4 cylinder engines seemed just fine during the test drives and initial owning period but after awhile they seemed noisy and weak. MY V6 experiences were more pleasant so I went for the 9-5 SE V6. In the 3 years I have owned the car, I've had the following done under warrantee 1. engine starter replaced 2. rear shock replaced 3. instrument display SID replaced 4. rear seat heater turnoff timer adjusted and then normal maintenance to replace tires and brakes and rotors and a headlight bulb. I also have an interior backlight on one of the panel controls that needs replacement whenever I bring the car in for service again. So is this good, bad, or normal? PS I have 43,000 miles or roughly 68,000 km on it.
