I agree on the windshield, but I really hope you never need an attitude indicator or ILS in your C900. That flat dash angle is the same, too, but the dash (panel) on the Cessna is a whole lot taller (unless you were in a 152, the smallest recent Cessna). The seats in the Saab are about a million times better than any Cessna seats I've ever sat in.
The reason that Saab doors, etc. feel so much more solid is that they are a lot heavier. Empty weight on a Cessna 172N (1979 - I have the Info. Manual at my desk...) is 1424lbs - about 1000lbs less than a C900. And it has about the same interior space (though the 172 wins the headroom contest). You may have also noticed, though, that Cessna put the ignition swith in the wrong place :-)
