I don't really believe there's a 'sweet spot' per se. It all comes down to your acceptance of the risks/ewards inherent in driving a SAAB.
Me? I want to get 160K miles out of my '06 9-3 SC and anything after that is gravy. That's about another two years at my current rate. My wife's '10 9-3 SS will hit 100K this weekend and I want to get 160K on that too - another three years for that car.
I recently rented several cars on vacation including a new Chevy Impala (decent enough), a Mazda 6 (enjoyed it), a Hyundai Sonata (no clue why they're so popular), and a Buick Verano (meh...). My sweet spot was driving my SC with 128K miles and thinking that it drove better than any of those new rentals.
