I have two 9-5 wagons, a 2000 and a 2001, with 2.3 liter 4-cylinder engines and manual transmissions (60K and 45K mile). Haven't had any unusually expensive problems so I would have to say they are reasonably reliable. Having driven SAAB's for 30 years, I would say that CU is not always a reliable source for information since they seldom like SAAB's because they are somewhat out of the ordinary. SAAB's are more particular about regular maintenance, but the reward is long service. I have driven two SAAB's, not recommended by CU, 20+ years and 250,000+ miles. Also keep in mind that the sampling of survey respondents for SAAB's is rather small, so a few unsatisfied owners may skew the results.
