• Answer:

  I had a 9-5 2.3t SE estate a couple of years ago. It was great up until it got to about 50k miles and then I had a chain of major and very costly problems. The main ones were that the turbo blew - cost about £2500 to replace. Then a few months later a nasty noise started coming from the engine. After spending £1500 on investigation I was told that the idler shaft was the problem and it would be a further £3500 to repair. I got rid of the car very quickly and bought a Volvo V70 instead which has not let me down once and it is far more economical. I was probably just a bit unlucky with my car but I will never take a chance by buying a Saab again!!
