The only reliable data on reliability is Consumers Reports Frequency of Repair records. The last I saw showed the 9-3 right in the middle (average) -- notably ahead of the VW Passat. The 9-5 did very well in its first year and has declined to average or better-than-average in subsequent years. Both sets of data show that Saabs have improved vastly from earlier days, when they were consistently worse-than-average or much-worse-than-average. Cost of repairs, however, remain outrageously and inexcusably high for Saabs, especially for simple routine maintenance.
