I am a senior in high school and I bought my own 2001 9-5 SE with the V6 in March so it should be fine for a college student too. I love the car; it's pretty quick and I like the V6 a lot. It takes off pretty quickly when you want it to, especially in Sport mode. The V6 is more reliable than the 4-cyl, you just REALLY need to keep up with the timing belt and tensioners every 60k miles or you're out of an engine... I thought I heard somewhere that the power of the V6 is very comparable to the Aero; Saab just says it has less HP to put the Aero in a higher league. I don't know how reliable that is though. Hope this helps and good luck...
