Here in the US Consumer Reports initially had the 9-5 ranked at the top in reliability. However, after ECU's and electronic displays started failing, most after 20,000 miles or so, I'm sure the reliability rating of the 9-5 dropped. Hopefully SAAB has corrected both now, but in the meantime I'm afraid Saab lost a significant number of first time buyers. The ECU was a problem that dealers couldn't seem to fix and a number of people lost faith. A shame really and it was the fault of a supplier not Saab. In my case my car sat at the dealers for a month awaitng a motor mount when it was really the ECU. I haven't lost the faith but I admit my patience was tried. It wouldn't have been so bad if I had got to drive a Saab loaner, but instead I had a Monte Carlo. Made me appreciate my Saab though.
