My experience has been exactly the opposite. I have owned 3 and they all behave somewhat predictably. I'm not exactly obsessive compulsive... but I have predicted most of my mechanical failures with both my 900S and 900T. They require maintenance but most of the time I will work on it myself... either out of necessaty or to save $$. I think one the biggest reasons my cars have been reliable is that I only take them to Saab only mechanics. I've read too many horror stories about mechanics not familiar with these cars totally screw them up... and then blame it on Swedish engineering.
Not all of these cars are perfect..by far. Good cars have good owner...and some Saabs definately have a checkered past.
