I've been canvassing opinion in the UK too, and although I've heard of failures, the overall picture doesn't seem as bad as in the US. Perhaps the moderate climate has something to do with it. Also, perhaps it's something to do with the fact that most UK Saab owners (from new) are bound to have their cars exclusively dealer-serviced due to the warranty restrictions here that your US law doesn't allow. Second owners also fall foul of this, as they usually buy their used Saabs from the dealer too. Finally, it seems the lower-torque engine variants are much more prolific here than in the US, where it seems the majority of autos came with the 2.3 full-turbo engine.
My three current cars (including the auto) came with full Saab dealer service histories at 113K, 136K and 99K miles. I'm hoping that any abuse that may have been suffered is not compounded by neglect.
