Things like a SID that can't stay illuminated! Or a V6 design that REQUIRES 60K timing belt changes (don't forget about the tensioners and pulleys, too!). Or DICs that fail, only a question of what random piece of highway where it will leave you stranded. Or a heater box flap door that when has a $5 part failure requires a $2500 dash pull (thank goodness for that $110 aftermarket part but then again not everyone knows about that!). Speaking of V6s, I put in two oil coolers in 60K miles. TWO!
The Saab brand's current offerings are frankly irrelevant except to a few thousand people worldwide.
Driving a new car, I promise the OP won't miss it. Heck, I'm driving a 19 year old car and I don't miss it.
