good model years for 9-3

I am considering getting a 9-3 for my son who will be graduating college in the spring and headed out of town for a new job. I want him to get a solid, safe newer vehicle and having owned Saabs since 1979, I know a little about them.
What year(s), (greater than 2005), on the average produced good vehicles? What year(s) had the better engine? 4 cylinder or 6?
What years should I avoid like the plague?
Unfortunately he is a bit mechanically challenged so it is unlikely he will do little more than change the oil himself, maybe brakes if he is around for me to show him, but thats the extent of his capabilities.
A person in the neighborhood has a 2006 9-3 aero, 70K, but I am a little reluctant to get him a 'performance' engine.
Thanks for your thoughts.
John
