Other than the SID, my '02 9-3 has been utterly bomb-proof thus far. So to call them "unreliable" is nonsense, especially when I have 2 other cars to compare it to: A Mercedes and a collectionist car. The Saab and my motorcycle are the only troublefree items in the garage. I did get the extended warranty for the Saab, just in case, but nothing's come up. ...pablo "ma_twain" <ma_twainnospamo.com> wrote in message news:442DED90.3030308nospamo.com... > When GM bought Saab, they wanted to reduce the cost of the car so GM could > make more profit.
