Bought a bargain due to poor residuals and I didn't mind buying a vehicle with scratched paintwork and a couple of small problems.

Use a combination of Saab main dealer and local garage depending on whatever is needed.

Driving
Surprisingly good, a comfy mile muncher, the wife and I enjoy driving.
Performance
Big, lumbering, relaxing, enjoyable motorway mile muncher with a sports mode for a bit of fun when necessary.

Living with it
Reliability
Only had it a year and therefore can't really comment. There are a few problems which were known at the time of purchase and factored into the price.

It's a Saab. Wife & I travel to France quite a bit and bizarrely enough, Saabs are extremely well-regarded and unusual out there. This means we get the odd person cooing over it including one chap driving a top of the range Audi!!!
Comfort
Really, really excellent.
