I had both a '93 9000 Aero and a '97 900SE with the high output turbo, both manual transmission. Loved them both, two of the most unique cars that I have owned. Close to 35 MPG on the highway but rockets with a few small upgrades. The 9000 had 235k when I sold it, still the original engine and transmission. Like most European cars they are stout mechanically but expect some annoying odds and ends. The early 9-3 hatchback and the first generation of 9-5 are as new as I would venture, the 9-3 sedan and later 9-5 were 100% badge engineered GM crap. Personally I would drive the hell out of a Viggen or an early 9-5 Aero wagon.
