The V-6 has not been cursed with some of the problems of other Saabs: Turbo failures are not as common, the engine does not sludge and DI failures are less common (and even if one DI should go, the engine will run rough rather than die suddenly).
The only serious failure point with the V-6 is the timing belt tensioner. Even this can be avoided if you take the extra step to replace it when you are replacing the timing belt.
