The annual Consumer Reports auto issue reliability survey says that Saab ignition systems are doing quite well dating back to the '99 year, generally with less than 2% reporting any problems in this area -- no more than 5% in any one year for either 9-3 or 9-5 models. Clearly there are some failures and any failure of an ignition system in a modern car under 100K miles is inexcusable; however, it seems from the survey that the emphasis on carrying a spare may be overblown a bit. Apparently, the vast majority of DIs are doing fine despite being in service 3 to 5 years. What opinions are out there regarding the survey and the need for a spare in light of the problem rate it reports?
