Disenchanted VW owner looking for a home

Hiya,
I bought a 2002 GTI about a year ago. I used to be a diehard VW fan. However after 12 visits to the shop in the first 12 months I'm looking to jump ship.
So i've been looking at some of the 1999 9-3's and really been liking what I see on the outside. I have yet to get a test drive, but that should be remedied in the very near future.
Here's my question. Do the Saab 9-3's have any MAJOR issues. When I say major I'm referring to a problem similar to VW's window regulator & coilpack issue. To give you an idea about the problem, on vwvortex.com they had a poll & of the 650 polled, 340 people have had at least 1 coilpack blow on their car.
Also, is there anything in particular I should be looking for when I'm shopping for a Saab? Either good or bad?
I'll be selling my GTI for a loss, so i really can't afford to have another unreliable car. I need to get rid of the VW at this point though, I only have 18,000 left on my warranty, that will probably be gone by this october & I dont forsee the issues with my car ending by then.
Thanks so much for your input folks!!!
Justin
