My SAAB indie recommended me to steer clear of the V-6. Sludge issues if the oil isn't changed at or prior to 5hou. Oil lift issues as well. As I recall, I believe he told me the exhaust from the front of the engine either is close to the oil pan or runs under it, perhaps I misheard. Plus, too big of an engine for such a small opening. Translates into a lot of heat which isn't friendly to plastic parts and the battery. According to him the I4 is bulletproof. I have 216,000 miles on my 9-3 to prove it and have had no issues with it or the 6sp trans.
I'd like to own a v-6 SAAB even though've been discouraged from taking the plunge. Perhaps one of these days.
Xenon lights, in my case, have been the major pain with my current 9-3.
