Tom -- I owned a Saab 900 from 1994 to 2001, traded it in for a Maxima in 2001, and may buy a Saab again this year or next. Here's the thing about Saabs -- by my observation, people who buy them either love them or hate them. And those who love them, love them usually in spite of various problems. Although you may hear from some on this site who say their Saabs are very dependable, I think you should count on having some problems, which may be minor or may be major, depending on the luck of the draw. Saabs appeal to many folks in spite of their reliability shortcomings-- partly because of their styling, their ergonomics (which are great, my Saab 900 fit me like a glove, like no other car has), their cargo room (in the case of hatchbacks), their drivability, etc. But I've never heard anyone say they love their Saab because it's so reliable. My Saab had continuous problems for four years, almost every month over that period, but fortunately all the problems were minor things. I was lucky.
