I put 150,000 miles on a '95 Passat, before getting my 2004 9-3 Aero (2.0T).
I test drove the Passat; I really liked the car, the drive, and especially the interior. But in the end I decided against it, because of my experience with the old Passat, after the warranty ran out: incompetent or uncaring service at the dealer, and an assortment of parts failures: motor mount, timing chain, ignition switch, thermostat housing, a broken clutch pedal (TWICE!).
For what it's worth, Consumer Reports rate the Saabs ahead of the VW's in reliability.
As for your specific car choice, shouldn't you compare the Aero to the V6 Passat, or the 2.0t VW to the 2.0T Saab?
