I had a civic once too (I actually have owned 2), and yes the maintenance costs are a lot less for a Honda, but I can asure you I have much more fun in my SAAB ('99 9-5 wagon). The ride is more comfortable especially with the ventilated leather seats and premium sound and there is more acceleration not to mention the safety of driving a SAAB. There is no comparison at all between the two...
Now about the rotors...they do wear out quickly if you do a lot of city driving or obviously if you are hard on your brakes. Mine wore out at about 25K miles with all city driving. Since you can't turn rotors (mine had a little tiny lip) I had everything replaced. No biggie, better safe then sorry.
and about the $30K service...I asked my Saab 'doctor' and they estimated about $500.
Happy SAABING!!!
