I love the manual tranny and the "over-boost" in 3rd gear - tears of happiness at a fond memory (2003 with AT)
Overall, the 2003 is just better- the ride is improved and as expected from the major suspension redo in 2002. The more important thing is the ~1400 changes in parts claimed by Saab in the 2002 over the original 9-5. Lots of small things just worked better.
my 2003 now has ~85k mi, about when I got rid of the 2000. The 2003 has been remarkably better in reliability. The heater mixing valve started leaking four months ago- and that's about it for unscheduled stuff. The difference in reliability is a function of both Saab improvements and the luck of the draw - I'm guessing more the latter.
I still keep a spare DIC in the trunk as a talisman.
