As a former Saab technician and lifelong mechanic I would like to state that I really don't like the work done by consumer reports magazine. I feel like many automakers deliberatly lenghthen maintenance intervals to unsafe levels just so a leasee can look up maintenance costs in Consumer reports to find that the maintenance costs for a new Saab is only $12 per year.
If people would read their manuals correctly they would see that almost any driving conditions are though of as severe driving conditions which require shorter oil change intervals etc.
My minor rant aside the vast majority of 9-3 Sport Sedan trips for service are related to Onstar teething problems or issues with software. When I was with Saab I saw very few actual Mechanical problems with the car and in my opinion the Sport Sedan crushes the old 9-3 like a grape.
