There have been many posts on this topic, so you might want to do a search.
But here's my experience:
'95 900SEC V6 with 102K
Engine runs smooth and strong, burns no oil. I change the oil every 3K with dino (no exceptions). I had the timing belt and tensioner kit changed at 35K, 65K, and 95K (all paid for by SAAB) and expect to do the same at 125K, even though some say the new kit is good for 60K.
My biggest complaint is the constant leaking from the valve cover gaskets, which I understand to be a common problem. That and always having that thought in the back of my mind that my engine could self-destruct at any moment!
I've driven several 4 cyls and turbos, but honestly prefer the V6 (maybe a bit biased).
Just wish I didn't have all of this negativity going on in the back of my mind!
Good luck.
