There are some slick Japanese cars which also are very reliable and of good overall quality. > Well ... Spirito di Punto ... I like European cars! Scandinavian cars > totally rule, though! I'm surprised to see the 9-3 in a list of unreliable > cars. I agree...euro cars are a lot of fun in their own way, but just wish they'd improve their quality. It's particularly unfortunate for the 9-3 in regards to this quality ranking however. It's a brilliant car but is assuredly marred by lots of little quality & reliability issues. Little things throughout the car are very much version 1.0. Worse yet, I don't see Saab addressing any of these issues with any concerted effort. It's going into it's 4th model year and from what I have seen most of the fundamental quality/reliability issues have not been dealt with adequately. There indeed seems to be a basic lack of direction/vision at Saab, which is probably now worse given Peter Augusstons departure last February. - tex
