My '03 9-3 was an excellent car; went 40,000+ miles with no significant faults. One of the best cars I ever owned, and with quality / reliability to match my wife's '03 Honda EX V6. I had virtually none of the problems sometimes noted on this website. My '06 Aero was delivered with zero problems -- still in the break-in period, but all indicators are for an outstanding car. I regard Saab as superior to Honda in safety and handling, and for many features. Honda / Acura reliability and value very high. Check wind noise around A-pillars (doors) in the Honda vs Saab. All our Hondas have suffered from wind noise.
I find Consumer Reports useful in some cases, but the two worst buys we ever made were based on CR recommendations. You need to think about the criteria they use for measuring a product, and and then think about how well it matches yours.
I wouldn't make a decision solely on the basis of a magazine assessment, pro or con.
