Help Deciding 03 Aero or 04 arc

I’m deciding between a 2003 Aero and a 2004 Arc 9-5. Both are nice cars and will be purchased with a CPO. The Aero is $1000 more and is loaded compared to the Arc.
I like the idea of having a sportier car but I also don’t want to spend a lot on repairs.
Cons
Do the low profile tires on the Aero wear out faster or take more damage from pot holes?
Are the brake rotors and pads more expensive on the Aero?
Do the vented seats hold up as good as the normal seats? Do the holes tear?
Does the Aero bottom out on speed bumps?
How often do the Xenon lights need replacing?
Pros
Is the premium sound that much better?
Are the HP and torque differences noticeable?
Is the pre-wired cell phone easy to setup?
Am I worrying too much and are the cons on the Aero the price of having a sporty car?
Thanks for your help I hope to report back in a few days as a new Saab owner.
Thanks Again
