The V6's in 9-5's were resourced and re-engineered and have been very trouble free. Nothing like the V6's in the NG900's and 9000's. As a matter of fact the 9-5 V6's have a better warranty track record than the fours. And Saab will pay for the 60k timing belt change for free, whether you're the orginal owner or not.
And the recent sludge issues requiring Saab to extend the engine warranty have only cropped up on the fours. The V6's seem to be immune to the problem, further vindication of the 9-5 V6.
Now I still personally prefer the sound and character of the four, especially in Aero trim, I'm a way old Saaber, but the V6's are well liked and ultra-reliable too.
