I have a 2003 Linear, its a love hate relationship.

Pros:
The car is beautiful, drives great and fits my personlity perfectly. I spent a lot of money on it to upgrade it and now I am extremely happy with the way it's setup. It now has the Saab catalog body kit, Saab sport suspension, Saab sport dual-tip muffler, etc. I wans't too crazy about the original Linear suspension, but now I love how tight the car is on turns and bumps.

Cons:
Rattles, rattles, rattles. You listen to music, it rattles, you go over a bump, it rattles, you get the point. The car hasn't given me much mechanical problems, but here they are:
- Passanger door and rear door water leaks, dealer changed seals & water drains
- Parking brake lever replaced (known to go bad in 2003 models)
- Gas pedal sensor module changed twice (known to go bad in 2003 models)
- Exernal door handles faded (known to go bad in 2003 models)
- Interior dash items paint pealing, changed twice some parts (known to go bad in 2003 models)
- Driver's seat lumbar support replaced
- Spark plug set changed three times due to missfire computer error codes

Thats about it. Oh yeah, original Saab brake pads/rotors don't last very long.

After all these things were taken care of, the car has been great. I don't plan on selling it for a long time until it dies.
