And it's disadvantages too. Can't say which one you will like. Traditional Saab folks like the four cylinder cars. Less traditional, more objective people can be fond of the V6.
Both are a good choice. Used to be the V6's were troublesome in Saabs, but since the Vauxhall sourced V6 in the 9-5's they have been bulletproof.
Don't know of anybody who isn't happy with their 9-5 V6. Objectively the V6 is smoother, more powerful and sounds better than the 2.3t. The 2.3t is lighter and therefore handles better, more economical on gas, but can have some idle vibration issues.
V6 9-5's all have the premium package. Some of the 2.3t's don't. And only the 2.3t is availible in a stick.
Interesting choice with no wrong answer.
