It depends on how you define "reliability" in this case. I suspect many people (me one of them) take number of claims or unscheduled dealer visits into account along with severity of issues. I had a 9-5 (my seventh Saab) a while back that ended up being repurchased because of persistent recurring HVAC problems -- not really affecting reliability in the sense of the car failing being unable to drive me from A to B, but half a dozen shop visits and more than a month off the road in the first few months of ownership is certainly a kind of "reliability" issue. BTW, I replaced it with Saab #8.
But, to the actual point, I read here that the 2003 9-3SS had a lot of teething problems, but since then things have been much better.
