I'm in the same situation. Living overseas and researching to decide whether to buy a 2004 9-3 SAAB or an S-60 Volvo. SAAB drove better, but have heard Volvo's reputation is stronger. Have read many opinions and assessments over the past week, but remain undecided about what is the better value. what car would last longer (15 yrs or greater) with the same, attentive treatment and maintenance? Is the turbo engine a good thing or a ticking "time bomb"...is the in-line 5 cylinder engine asking for trouble? Looking for a vehicle that will last many years with ample seating space for a 4 person family and low maintenance bills. Or are these models equally strong and it's just a matter of opinion?
