The ones made after GM took over were awful for a number of years. They improved once they became the 9-3 but according to a friend who worked at a shop that had several customers with them, they're a serious PITA for some jobs and the parts are expensive.

Hard to believe how SAAB and Volvo went down the crapper.
Not really, socialist union run companies seldom last. SAAB should have stuck to building planes.
