I sold my '88 9000T at 196K miles last year and bought a 9-5 Aero, 2001.
Lots of folks actually think the 9-5 Aero with the automatic is a better choice, but I still prefer the 5-speed. Tons of power and control. I think all the 9-5 Aero's come with TCS - mine did, as did my wife's non-Aero 9-5 wagon. You can always turn it off on the dash, anyhow.
Weak points: DIC (Saab recall pending); SID prone to pixel failures; oil sludge issues currently being handled by Saab with retroactive extended engine warranty. ABS/TCS module failures - outrageously expensive thru Saab ($2K!!!), relatively cheap ($250) if you read this board; No hatchback.
Strong points: More comfortable ride, more power, quieter. Great, understated Saab styling. Good gas mileage.
I would have considered a '98 9000 Aero, but most of them you find have pretty significant mileage racked up. I wanted to start out with a relatively low mileage, non-rusty car (27K, as it turned out.) I'm very happy with the 9-5 Aero!
