Wife's 2002 Linear with 24k miles -- Saab #6 -- has been 100% trouble-free for 27 months so far. Just got back from several days in Scottsdale. About 420 mi each way from L.A. Casually observed speedo error was about 3% high - ten marked miles on cruise control at indicated 93mph took 400 seconds for "true" 90mph. SID reset MPG at 70-75mph on level terrain about 31mpg. At steady 90 (actual) it did about 27mpg.
Car is smooth as butter at high speed. With windows up and Joe Mantegna reading "Get Shorty" to keep us awake, it was very easy to drift up to 100mph. No suspicious radar dector activity or police observed anywhere both ways on I-10.
I had (still have) a very sore back after hiking up to the top of Pinnacle Peak yesterday morning and the six hours in the car coming home were the only time the backache stopped. Gotta love Saab seats. If only I wasn't getting old....
