Like no other car I've owned, it stranded me 3 times and had to be towed. Same problems everyone else has had - DI, pulley, etc. I enjoyed driving with the turbo engine while the car was trouble-free. Unfortunately, a lot of time was spent at the dealer's costing me lots of dollars. Even with the discounted price, I expect superior reliability to that of cheaper, high-volume cars. I like the utility of my 9-3 hatch, but it is an old chassis design which can be crude and harsh. The 9-3SS is definitely a modern auto, but Saab is losing their "uniqueness" and becoming a brand without ties country, culture, or philosophy. I've been test driving other cars, and so many are powerful, handle sharply and brake hard. Mechanically and dynamically, the competition is fierce, and these cars are just as fun to drive. I'm getting out too, but I'll say this - Saabers are a great group of people.
