I had a 07 Saab 93 auto w/ Anniversary package as a company car until it was totaled by a UPS truck.

The pros: virtually no turbo lag, impressive gas mileage, comfortable for front seat passengers, very good build quality and reliability (I had zero problems in 16,000 miles), Saab turbo hum at idle sounds great, handles as well our TL, high quality leather interior, weird ergonomics (ie fan blower turns on every time you start the car), XM radio

The cons: it's a chick car as majority of drivers are women, the back seat is cramped, and many of the interior parts are low quality.

I personally wouldn't buy a Saab 93, however I can attest it's a better car than the A4. Also one should be aware that the maintenance plan does not include tires or brakes. I don't believe reliability will be an issue as the 93 I had was built like a vault.
