We've owned two 2001 9.5 sport wagons since 2004. The Aero, my wife's car, has just hit 120k mi. Other than an initial problem with a neutral safety switch which the dealer could not figure out, and SWEDECAR diagnosed via this site, and I replaced, the car has been very dependable and a strong performer. I've done most of the 60K and subsequent major services, DIC replacement, brakes, oil changes etc. Our local indy has done a serp belt/pulley fix and other relatively minor stuff. This car has been at least as problem free as our 2001 9.5 Linear with 140K mi and it is blast to drive. Due to a couple of fender-benders and my driving into the garage with a bike on the rack, it has been almost completely repainted and thus looks like new. I spent more on our last Volvo 740 which we purchased new and drove to 225K miles.
