I have had mine since November, and I am very happy with it. The V6 has excellent torque and response at all speeds. I think it is smoother than the loaner lpt 4 cyl wagon I used briefly at the dealership, but that subject is debated on this B/B. The 5 speed auto is excellent. I'm from Montana and really appreciate the performance and handling on our roads. You do get some V6 engine noise, which is acceptable to me. If you want hotter acceleration, look at an Aero, but drive both to see which you like better. I suspect the Aero's low end response is worse than the V6 in the Arc. As with many people reporting here, I find myself looking for places to drive to so I can enjoy the car. Finally: check out the current Consumer Reports automobile issue. They are very complimentary to the 9-5, especially in the area of reliability. That has not historically been Saab's strongest suit.
