The 2003 Saab 9-5 Arc is much like yours but only better. The 2003 has a 5-speed automatic (Japanese Aisin) transmission with paddle shifters on steering wheel. It also has ventilated rear-disk brakes, 12.1" front rotors (not sure about the 2001's front rotors), heated/ventilated seats, pop-up head lamp washers (gone are the wipers). Then I'm not certain what the package is called but gives you Bi-xenon headlights, reverse sensors (sonar), memory seats, I believe an upgraded Harmon Kardon sound system, etc. V-6 is really nice as long as cam-belt doesn't fail and wreck the engine. I own a 2002 Arc and love the car. If there was anything to complain about, it would surely be the excessive road noise. If the car is priced right and has CPO, you really can't go wrong.
