Looking at 9-3 SportCombi - carseats & reliability ?'s

Hello all,
I currently own a 2002 9-5 Aero wagon that is past 230K. I'm looking to get an '07 through '10 Saab 9-3 SportCombi (or similar year Volvo V50) to replace it.
My question to other long term multi-Saab owners... how would you rate the reliability of the 9-3 platform? I'll be buying a manual transmission model.
Second question - I need to accomodate a 3YO in a car seat, a 6YO in a booster, and an 8YO in the rear seat, along with 2 adults up front. Cargo area will be used for groceries, luggage, or medium sized dog on occasion.
Roof rails will get a rack with 2-3 bike carriers. Basically, I'm looking for a workhorse that is also fun to drive and comes with a manual transmission.
Background - previous cars (before kids) were '97 900SE coupe & '02 9-3SE 5-door.
Thanks,
JMJ
