Long term reliability- Audi A4 vs. NG900/9-3

So yesterday I drove a '97 A4 1.8T quattro and was very impressed with it. It was agile, very sporty, and comfortable. It had 50,ooomi and was a smooth shifting 5-speed.
It is the first car I have ever driven that I thought would be worth trading my current '90 900TC for. And I love my car, but the Audi was such a pleasure to drive. But I have heard that Audi turbos are not as good as those Saab uses, and I don't know much about the long term reliability of the A4. It may be one of those cars that is a pleasure to drive, when it is not in for service all the time.
So does anyone own an A4? When I am looking for my next car should I be looking late 90s A4 or late 90s NG900/9-3. Opinions would be appreciated.
