Pros: you lose the v6 which some "purists" say is not a real saab since the engine is made by Vauxhall UK (I'm not a long time Saaber, so I really didn't care)
Cons: flakier turbo - seals wear due to age not just mileage, no?
Lose cooled seats (I miss those!)
The i4 has its own problems that the v6 is mostly immune to (sludge and head gasket) make sure PCV #6 was done to the Linear
Less power and torque than your current ride.
I[d say it was a decent sized downgrade, but the delta mileage and condition might change things. Does your Arc have visibility package with the dimming mirrors and xenon lights?
