After three bad volvos (two 850's and a V70/lemon car), I finally unloaded it and purchased a certified 2004 Saab 9-5 Wagon with 18,000 miles. My initial impression is that the Saab offers a much more luxurious ride, quieter, and better acceleration. The linear has more HP than the base Volvo I had before. I hope this one isn't a lemon!

Nice one! Welcome aboard! It's a shame you had such a bad experience with Volvo; they're otherwise excellent cars. Indeed, let's hope your SAAB is a more reliable.

IMO there's no such thing as a lemon, just incompetent mechanics. Saab and Volvo are very similar in terms of performance and dependability, both quite good but both also have quite different personalities. The 9-5 is a nice car as far as the GM Saabs go, hopefully it serves you well.
Hey!! Did you steal that from me? I know I have said that exact thing before, and believe it 100% to this day. And some of the worst ones seem to be turn up at the new car dealerships that you are forced to go to for warranty repairs.
I don't think I stole it from anyone, it's been my experience though. I've fixed a couple "lemon" cars that had relatively simple though somewhat obscure problems that the dealer had been unable to track down.
