Hello all, I am a big fan of German cars and really like Audis.
My wife is currently driving a VW Touran 2.0 tdi that is starting to get old and has regular problems. It is up to about 155k miles and the rear suspension is starting to give up now.

I am contemplating a Saab 9-3 estate. I did like the 9-3x, but the diesel version is not 4 wheel drive. This didnt make sense to me.

What are they like to live with? The ttid engine looks good in terms of mpg vs performance. What is not to like?

Any particular trouble areas to watch out for?
Is the x worth buying over and above the standard 9-3?

Thank you.
