1. You love driving it and it's a cool car. As with most things in life, you've identified the important part i.e. what's important to you.
2. One cannot intelligently argue that Saab, of all cars, of any vintage, are "crap". To the contrary, much of the criticism over Saab-design-isms represent a failure to understand a different, but sound and often proven superior, approach to design, a misunderstanding compounded further by the longevity of Saab model runs.
3. When I was in school (little semi-rural public school), much of the grief I got over the Saab was more "respectful teasing" by friends for stereotyped reasons, than declaration of the car being "crap". If that's not your case and kids genuinely degrade your car as "crap", see #2.
4. Saab on, buddy!
