I used to have an Automatic Saab 9000 2.0t that I finally sold with 240K miles on the clock. Great big barge of a car but once you updated the suspension, it was a great car to drive.
The Mrs had a Manual Saab 93 convertible 2.0t that was fun to drive.
I now have an Audi A6 estate which is fun to drive.
As mentioned above, I would go for the Audi out of the two listed by Frosties but the 2.0t Saab could sway the balance. The Saab is a nice car but on-going support is getting more and more limited for when things do go wrong. Standard consumables etc are not an issue as they are Vauxhall Vectra parts in the main. Its the other bits like the radio/engine management/etc/etc that will casue problems.
A little known issue with the Saab is the indicator "click" amongst other things, comes from the radio. The radio is made up of about 100 different parts spreadd around the car connected by fibre optic cable. One broken cable, bad connector, or failed unit can be an expensive job to locate let alone fix if part supply is limited. Its even worse when its an intermittent fault like myMrs had on hers. Fortunately, the radio was having a good day and was workign the day we PX'd the car
