I've had this one - MY10 in steel grey with grey leather, but first registered to Saab GB in Jan 2011 - since 23 Dec 2011 (at 14,290 miles), which replaced the 9-3SW Hirsched TiD that I'd had for a couple of years. It now has 130k on the clock and is still as enjoyable as the day I got it, very much a workhorse with tow-bar and removable roof bars. Internal space is quite adequate for us as I've had 5 [empty] standard pallets in the load space! Very little has had to be done to it, apart from tyres and brakes and the odd drop-link on the front suspension. The past year has been the most expensive, apart from a new water pump & belts a couple of years ago, as it's had the oil pump pickup seal replaced, investigation into a braking issue (ABS valve sticking so valve block replaced) and a recent major service with new rear discs and pads. It's now looked-after by Tommy and Dave at TR Autos in Yeovil (authorised Saab service agents) - a great team. A minor niggle is water getting into the driver's footwell - door seals have been treated with silicone spray so we'll see how that goes.
