9-3 SportCombi Purchase?

Hi everyone! I've been reading this site to attempt to justify a purchase of an '06 9-3 SC Aero. Stickers over $37k, I get GM supplier discount and rebates, all total, the dealer is offering it for $29.9k. Even offering a decent trade for my tried and true '01 Ford Escape. Sounds good.
I have been concerned about a couple of things:
1) Reliability (read too many CR reports, plus a co-worker has litgation against GM as we speak for her '03 9-3
2) MPG - saw the sticker of 17-28 and it didn't seem much better than my Escape 4WD
3) Winter - outside Pittsburgh is all hills and winter can be treacherous with snow-ice. How is the traction on these things? I assume winter tires are required.
4) Long-term. I intend to keep whatever I buy for at least 8 years. Think Saab's can go the distance without breaking me?
I appreciate any help you can give - Thanks!
