What Saab compares to a S60 Volvo?

My GF and are in the process of replacing our ultra reliable and bullit- proof 97 Escort with something sporty, and COMFORTABLE.
After owning several e30 BMW's, an 81 Volvo, a VW, and a 97 Escort (which is the MOST reliable, and cheapest car I could have ever purchased, not only in maintenance and repairs, but in insurance costs too) We want something that's fun, and has a bit more appeal than a 97 Escort.
We've rented several high performance cars for long term ranging from 2 Cadillac STS's (an 07 and an 08), an 06 Volvo V70 AWD, 08 MB CLK 550 (convertible) and a plethora of Corollas and everythign in between.
So my question is this, what car would you recommend that's
1. Reliable
2. COMFORTABLE on trips over 3 hours ( the volvos we've test driven had us wishing the trip would continue after 8 hours!)
3. relatively easy to work on, I've done water pumps, timing belts, alternators, ball joints, etc. with relative ease
4. fun! I prefer something with a 5 speed
Thanks for th help guys!
