Driving
Smooth, solid, excellent road holding. Have read some reports of roll when cornering hard, not experienced that myself, maybe I'm not cornering hard enough, I'll have a go on the way home this evening.
Performance
Superb. Auto box is 0-60 is just shy of 7 secs. Doesn't pull as well from around 60mph, but still more than enough.

Living with it
Reliability
I've only had it 8 months so can't really comment. It's a Saab for God's sake. Keep 'em serviced and they'll run until the roof blows off.
Image
Very subtle. No real clues to what's under the bonnet. Still has a 'sporty' appearance.
Comfort
Top class. Memory seats are a treat.

Security and Service
Security
If they want to get in then they'll be climbing in over broken glass. Only the most stupid would even attempt to take this car.
Service
Excellent. Saab does after all mean Sir, so my Indian colleagues tell me.
