Hi there,
I've been chewing on this too. I think the main problem is that the 9-3 has only been out a few years. So there's no stories about the durability of 10 year old models (if that's what you're looking for). The folks on the NG900 boards are pretty up front about the cars having the occasional problem. So are the Mercedes C class folks on the Edmund's board too BTW.
There's no perfect choice. If you want rock solid reliability, get a Honda or Toyota. If you want something else too, then the Saabs become more attractive. You just need to keep a closer eye on them it seems ... more TLC too perhaps. You can't have it all though.
I think in Saab's case it boils down to a few odd machines rolling off the assembly line, not chronic problems like many of the American manufacturers
Good luck with your choice. Let folks know what you decide and why.
DT
