Good Luck in your search. I will admit the A-3 is nice to drive but check out the audi high pressure fuel pump problems and cam issues before you go that way but I do think 5k full synthetic oil changes take care of that. And that direct inject is noisy.
I think you have the right attitude about the 9-3. The 9-3 had most of the bugs worked out by 06. Yes 07 and up will wear the valves, a balance shaft chain tensioner will fail at times, the water pump sucks to change. But they do seem to just go and go. Front coil springs, fuel gauge sending units, a few other issues exist but I plan on getting one eventually when I move up to those years. Good Luck with you choice and as I tell everyone I know a Saab is great, fun and safe car to have. Bernie
