We have what would be termed the 9-5S. However it has all the extras on the SE except the V6 engine. Talked to the Saab mechanics at the dealership before I purchased. They recommended the 2.3 4 cyl engine. It's true Saab engine and more reliable. We have been very pleased in all respects. Did have a board in the computer go bad which left it dead until replaced, On Star worked great to get help.
Great car

My first Saab and will (hopefully) not be my last. I have a lower back issue and do not ride in cars very well. However, I can ride long distances in this car in relative comfort. Kick the sport in and it goes!

Since initially test driving the car and drivng it off the lot, the car has performed flawlessly. I don't ask much of the vehicle, but it does everything I need it to. In its first 15,000, I drove lots of stop and go. Now, its smooth sailing every day. In both situations, the car has been happy and so have I, except for the traffic. Maintenance has been limited. The only surprise has been brakes - but I suppose this is due more to the stop and go traffic rather than the components. Out here where it gets hot in the summer (not as hot as Arizona or Nevada, but hot nonetheless) the lenses on the headlights developed cracks and were replaced without questions. A solid performer.
Lots of extras for your money

This is the 6th SAAB in a row that I have owned and the quality has really improved over the years. They used to be a real sob story as far as quality went and repairs in this area (San Diego) were a problem. Now the dealership has changed and it is great. We get a new SAAB as a loaner any time we take it in! Free maintenance for 45,000 is a plus since my 3 year lease @15,000 miles per year should end when I hit that mark.
Repairs and you better hare your records

All i have to say is you better keep all your receipts or you will be in trouble. I just got off an hour long converstation with SAAB. They are not going to fix a clogged oil pump, because I don't have the reciept for everyone oil change. I asked so what happens if the motor blows up are you going to stand behind me: they said nope based on the fact that i don't have all the paperwork. Save it all that is my advice. I'm going to pick it up and trade it in on a bmw.
