A surprisingly good and reliable car

Bought the car second hand about 15 months old and believe it was an ex lease car. It's an automatic diesel with a computer, and rear parking sensors, the four things I particularly wanted. It averages about 45mpg but will do 55 on a long journey.
I was immediately amazed at the power it produced and while the ride is harder than I wanted, my last car was a Jaguar x type with sport suspension which I found rather hard, it has proved to be a very reliable vehicle. I've now done 93k miles, far more than I should do to preserve its value, but because Saab went bust their car values dropped significantly, and it's now only worth about £3000 . I'm loathe to trade it in because it's goes as well as when I bought it and I'm mean and don't want to spend the money on a new car even though I fancy a Volvo xc60.
If you want a good car for not much money I can't recommend the Saab more highly.
