Please reread my message... I wasn't "dissing" the WRX at all. I'm just saying that it hasn't been around long enough to prove its reliability.
Although you seem like you've had a lot of problems, I'm sure you'll find dissatisfied owners with ANY car. And the important thing to remember when gathering reliability data is that you must poll a wide range of owners... In other words, "don't call us, we'll call you!" Otherwise, the data is totally worthless if only the people with problems come forward.
If you read about half a dozen "serious" problems with 9-3's on this forum you'd probably come to the mistaken conclusion that all 9-3 are lemons... but you gotta ask... Do the people with good experiences post here that they drove their car for years without problems? No.
Yes, Saabs have had their "issues" (the DI Cassette being one of them). But as Scott the moderator of this forum says, if they were that bad then we'd be overrun with complaints. Trust me, I've owned a '94 900 and now own a '95 900 Turbo which are considered "the worst of the worst"... and my experiences haven't been that bad!
Let's see what the Subaru WRX owners have to say in a few years. Or better yet, wait for the independent studies (like Consumer Reports) to gather enough data. Saab has actually had good overall quality ratings...
