I test drove the three cars you mentioned and bought the 2004 Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan with semi-automatic transmission. I've never owned a Saab before (I've owned two BMWs previously - one an M5) but I love my Saab. I've had NO ISSUES with my car. Nada, zero, zip. I have 20,000 miles on the car now and it has performed flawlessly.
It has excellent performance with excellent fuel mileage. It's supremely comfortable on long trips, and surprisingly competent in the handling depratment as well. Build-quality is comparable to all of the cars you mention - bar none.
The 9-3 Saab is a nice balance between technical sophistication and a user-friendly quality that still allows the car to have a very distinct personality.
So, while you may strip a car down to it's most quantitative elements (0-60 times, 1/4 mile, etc., etc.) for ease of comparability, it's the qualitative aspects of the Saab that make it a winner on a real-world basis. Do yourself a favor and go drive one - it's not hipe.
