I have had a squeaky clutch pedal - easy fix - just a little lubricant.
The window controls were shorted out so sometimes the windows wouldn't go up/down. this was again an easy replacement, I watched my mechanic do it in less than a minute literally.
Coolant sensor, ABS sensor both needed replacement.
The interior is a little noisy (creaks, road noise) but the car is 10 years old.
This car is a lot of fun. it's got a unique personality, it's pretty quick considering the motor is about the same size as the standard motor on the jetta/passat from this year. you get 185 hp instead of something like 130 because of the turbo. it's also pretty good on gas. I get about 25-26 mpg around town. on a recent trip across NY state I averaged 30 miles per gallon. with a saab, it's important you have a good mechanic who can get decent used parts. where I live (albany, NY) the dealers are notorious for ripping people off. I found an independent mechanic who has been working almost exclusively on saabs for years. I wouldn't want to own this car without having that comfort.
Absolutely love the title!! Priceless info.
