Bulletproof and torquey. It is a very well designed engine. Our V6 was an Opel (Euro GM) engine that was thrown into the car as an afterthought. Was not designed by Saab nor was it wanted by Saab. In the interest of US sales, the engine was reluctantly used. As far as the actual engine, it wasn't bad. The problem stems back to the timing belt setup, which is almost as bad as the setup in the last version of the Alfa Romeo 24 valve, V6 ( the engine that was used in the last two years of the 164). Believe me, this will never happen again; nightmares like that are not easily forgotten.
Cheers,
Brian.
