Actually, my experience has been very good with my 4-cyl LPT cars - both get regular maintenance and require little more than that:
1. A 1996 9000cs 5-spd, purchased from dealer with 83K incl. all service recs in the book plus obvious owner care. Drove it 60K over next 4 years with virtually no repairs, just an A/C line and a wheel brg. I would have kept that car longer as it ran perfect, but it was totalled in a head-on.
2. The replacement 2001 9-5 5-spd purchased with 67K (for $10K), no repairs other than the PCV crap, throttle body and had the sump dropped to check for sludging (some, but minor). Runs fine at 98K and should go a long time. Has ALL the goodies - HK stereo, vented seats, etc, and gets 30mpg.
If you find cars like these, SAAB ownership becomes a very nice experience.
