Please do not confuse durability with reliability. Saab 900s are certainly DURABLE cars - properly cared for they will last pretty much forever. But they are not particularly RELIABLE cars - something always needs fixing. Japanese cars seem to be the polar opposite - they never need anything right up to the point where you scrap them due to a worn out engine or tinworm.
Reading that website I thought it was a pretty reasonable list of what is going to go wrong with a 91 C900. Though I do think putting an ECU failure under "engine" is a little silly - they should have had a seperate catagory for "engine management" vs. the oily bits. And they totally missed that the autoboxes are utter junk. :-)
