I owned a Toyota and now owm a Saab. The Saab may be more comfortable and have more status, in my opinion the Toyota is far better in terms of quality. Never had a problem with the Toyota. Troubles with the Saab after 47000km: Turbo seals Trionic Now the ACC is not working on the drivers side (+/- fl 6000.= => USD 2500.=) Radio and horn controls in steering wheel Bad cold start, sometimes stalling For an expensive so called quality car pretty disapointing, they lost me as customer next car won't be a Saab.
