I have been very impressed with this vehicle up until it stranded my family a total of 2 times in less than 1,500km's. My old Mercedes 190E with 275,000km's has never stranded my family. I purchased the newer SAAB to replace the 'aging' smaller BENZ.
There is an impending DIC/MODULE recall scheduled for March 2006. I've been told to hang onto my receipts for possible reimbursement. (well over $2,500 right now)
Component failures which put the driver and passengers in danger is unacceptable!! Flashy advertising campaigns will do nothing to combat word of mouth advertising from current owners.
UPDATE: Traded in the SAAB for a BMW 3 series last April (2006). Went back to the dealership a few weeks later to talk cars with the sales manager. He had the pleasure to inform me that the turbo was 'going' and that the car 'crapped' out on a recent test drive. There was no blame thrown around... I felt very bad... but I think it is SAAB/GM that should feel this way for putting out a car that has an expiry date of 130,000km's...I'd be ashamed if I was them.
The car has since sold off where I purchased the BMW, but it took nearly 8 months to do so. I'll say it again..."It's a great car when its not on a tow truck!"
