2005 9-3 Linear Questions

My finance and I have started looking for a newer 2nd vehicle and a 2005 9-3 Linear (red, 25k mi, $16k) has caught our eye. The first car I ever bought was an old-style 2000 9-3 which I loved and have regretted trading in this past summer.
I've read a lot of user reviews raving about the 2005 9-3s, but I've also seen many of the quality ratings (JD Power, etc..) list reliability concerns. Has there been a significant decrease in the quality/reliabilty over the past 3-5 years?
The other car we are considering is an '05 9-2 Linear (31k mi, $14k). However, after test driving this I can certainly understand the "more Subaru than Saab" point of view (it was tough finding anything that resembabled my old 9-3).
Thanks for any input. This decision is turning out to be tougher than I thought. I've got a feeling no matter what car we end up with, we'll be happy to be back in the Saab family.
