The '99-02 9-3s had a 4 speed auto tranny, similar to the '99-01 9-5s. In '02, the 9-5s had 5speed autos. The '03 9-3s now have 5 speed autos as well.
Can't speak for the '99-01 9-3s, but the auto in my '01 9-5 wagon is really good-enhanced with the Sport mode setting. The new 9-5 5speed autos are fantastic. The 5speed auto in the '03 9-3 I drove was also excellent, especially in manumatic mode-it will hold the gear you select right up to redline!
I wouldn't hesitate in getting an auto SAAB, especially in the newer models. The new automatics are so good and the fuel economy is similar to a stick, making a stick version purely a matter of preference over other issues such as fuel economy, etc.
