No problems so far, 55,000 ,miles. Prior owner (2nd) took good care of it (thanks Joe!).
From what I have read and from talking to Viggen and 9-5 Aero owners that have the B235 engine, the problems are with those that modify for more power or autocross/race. Some mechanics have said that its easy to get 300hp+ out of the engine - its just going to be expensive and less reliable.
The one thing I don't like is a slight unstable condition around 85 mph. Seems that an air bubble builds under the front of the car and causes a lift/light front end. I've read into it on the net and it seems that an air tray under the bumper solves the floating feeling.
Having owned a C900 and 9000CSand having driven a 9-5 Aero, my feeling is that a 9000 Aero or 9-5 Aero would be a better car; love the engine, but the smaller 9-3 doesn't do it for me. Fit and finish and utility does not seem to match the bigger cars. But its still a neat car.
Try to buy a CPO with a few years of warranty left as a hedge.
