...I bought a 2000 9-3 2.0T 5-door hatchback with 5-speed manual brand new in 2000 and it is still my daily driver. I have 188,000 miles on the original engine and clutch and this has been the best car I have ever owned. Sure after that many miles I have had to have a few things replaced and repaired, but you would with any car after 12 years.
This was my first Saab and what has turned me into a Saab nut (having bought a '71 Sonett III in 2010). So, I have never owned a classic 900, but I certainly would not call the early 9-3's "junk".
