Wife owned a '99 9-3, now owns a 2006 9-3 with 88K miles. I currently own a '01 9-3. My dad is on his 3rd 9-5 wagon. I'd have to say the 2006 9-3 has been by far the most reliable. Of course, there are always good cars and bad cars. Regular service items are easy to come by, but again, I really haven't had to do much of anything. Just maintenance and sway bar endlinks.
Front end noise: check swaybar end links. Cheap and easy to replace. I've had to do it twice with the horrible Midwest potholes. Other noise can be a broke spring, so check that. The spring "perch" at the bottom seems to hold dirt, grit, and moisture. Good news there is you should be able to get it replaced under warranty (if broken) as long as no salvage title.
Specialty Saab modules: these are expensive, but I've yet to replace one. Don't spill anything on the ignition switch. :)
