Larry,
any maint problems seem like one too many.
I agree with your claim about some problems, but disagree with others:
On your first car, does a muffler wearing out indicate poor quality on the part of the manufacturer? I don't think so. I have mine replaced at one of the national chains that provide a life time warranty. At least on the second go round (muffler), it's a little cheaper. Oil seals sometimes fail, but if you did it in conjunction with the clutch, then perhaps it was good preventative maintenance. The clutch on my BMW failed at 130K, about twice your mileage.
On the newer SAAB, I would only count the transmission. The rest I would consider nuisance problems. But, that's my opinion. I can empathize with your feelings. Another car I own also had to have the transmission replaced at a young age (68K). As far as towing, I have AAA.
good luck with the Acura.
