"Dealer giving 300K warranty with serviceing Q10K at dealership. Your thoughts."

I don't know how that could be possible. Financially, I mean. What does the 300,000 mile warranty cover? And who is backing it? The VW dealers in my area do not get good service reviews, FWIW. I'm skeptical about how they can afford to do this.

"I would be buying an 1986 SAAB."

If SAAB parts and service were a challenge before the company died and went to China, they must be loads of fun now! (I had two pre-GM SAAB 900s, a 1983 and a 1989. I still miss them, sometimes.)

I drive a BMW these days. I'm strongly considering an American car -- a Honda Civic Si 4-door -- in a couple of years when my BMW runs out of warranty. As Eurocars go, BMW reliability is no worse than anything else -- but life is just too short to be on a first name basis with my service adviser. A Honda doesn't have the "feel" of a Eurocar -- but it doesn't have the maintenance problems, either.
