I wish I could be more encouraging since I love my car when it's working well. However, during the last 12 months (age 36-48 months, covering the 36 to 48K window on the odometer), it has been terrible. If the car were not under warranty, it would have cost me well over $2,000 during that time period. Problems have included seat cables breaking, stranded by a DI cassette, SID replacement, purge valve replacement, and AC problem. It is in the shop for one thing or another about once per month. From a cost, maintenance, and reliability point of view, I believe the cars you mentioned above are far superior products. If you can budget about $200 per month for maintenance and unscheduled repairs, and you have the flexibility to be in the shop every 4 to 6 weeks, then go forth and enjoy the Saab!
