Had one for three years as a company car and it was virtually faultless over 60000 miles. My dad bought it and its now got over 90000 miles on it and has only had minor issues.
Prior to that I had a 9-3 hatch for three years 60000 miles and that was good too- in fact quality was much better on this than the newer car.
My list of problems...
The EGR valve broke TWICE,
The swirl actuator broke,
The alternator broke TWICE,
The front coilspring snapped,
The top suspension bush disintegrated,
The air ciculation button on the dash broke,
The rev counter wouldnt drop below 1,500rpm (even with engine switched off).
Countless amount of trouble with onboard SID (Saab information display), easily rectified though by undoing the battery for a half hour.
I did about 18,000 miles a year.
I had a DPT chip on mine, that give about 175bhp, loads more torque and 54mpg.
It went really well, and handled great, but was my only car ever (in over 25 years of driving) that i took out AA cover on.
