Mike, thanks for the reply. The Benz was less quick, but all around not a bad package for the price. You can tell that it is a smaller engine, but the supercharger keeps the response very even throughout the entire rpm range, bit different from turbo characteristics which at certain off throttle situations can yield a momentary loss of response.
All around the Saab package seemed well balanced,decent performance, room, fuel economy, safety, nice interior (dated controls IMO) and the generous depreciation makes it a pretty attractive buy. We're pretty happy with the deal.
Reliability is interesting, the Volvo sales guy showed me the latest intial quality which ranked Volvo, Mercedes, BMW and Cadillac very well, but it was intial quality. I've heard Mercedes has addressed many of their problems
As to DI, on my 1999 it went out at 58k, and with 87k current miles, i'll make the investment in the spare.
