James:
I've seen a lot of unfortunate bad-mouthing of the V6 on this board. I've owned five Saabs, going back to a '74 99EMS, and I'm just as fond of the "true" Saab L4 as anyone, but my '95 CDE with V6 is a sweet car with great highway performance. Not as much low end torque, so you have to adjust your driving habits, but from ~ 2600 rpm on it's got plenty of smooth, quiet power. Fuel economy has been 30mpg on the highway, 23 in town. The timing belt HAS TO BE CHANGED on schedule or you will eat the heads. If the valve covers leak you will smell the seepage on the exhaust manifold at halts. Just about everything else in the car is straight Saab.
