Actually I'm glad Dave posted this, because it leads to a more basic question. Do you value anecdotal evidence or survey type evidence to predict vehicle reliability? IMHO, anecdotal evidence leads to conflicting opinions. As Dave pointed out, he's owned both American cars and Saabs. As have I. But I, on the other hand, found American cars to be more reliable on average. But I still _much_ prefer Saabs despite their quirky issues. Which particular Saab are you interested in (year and model)? There are variances in expected reliability between models and years (series runs). Telling us, exactly what you're considering purchasing will help to solicit more relevant replies. Keep in mind, the newer Saabs have newer technology. And as cool as new technology can be, it also is the least tested and consequently is less reliable. This goes for any manufacturer stuffing the latest and greatest tech gear into their cars. - tex p s- Err...sorry about my blank post. Hit send before it was ready.
