Judgment call

Wife's car (also our primary long-haul car) is a '99 9-5 with 115K. Obsessively maintained from new. Debating whether to replace it with newest 9-5 I can find. Primary reason is concern about reliability. Car has left her stranded 4 times in 11 years -- 2 batteries, heater bypass valve, and fuel pump. Incidence of stranding is pretty evenly distributed over the 11 years -- with most recent 6 weeks ago. Wondering if new one will be any better. Thoughts?
I know the new one has 260 hp, and that would be fun, but she doesn't like the new interior/exterior, and hey, I'm cheap.
Thanks, all.

(Our other car is a '97 9K with 100K on it. Don't want to sell that masterpiece.)
