2001 linear wagon vs. 2004 linear wagon

Just bought a 2004 9-5 linear wagon with 21,000 miles. Drove on the highway this morning to work without traffic at 65 and got 34.6 miles per gallon. I love the gas mileage. I bought this to replace my 2001 9-5 linear wagon with 200,000 miles on it that still runs awesome. Not sure what to do with it.
Things that I miss on my new to me 2004 9-5 linear wagon.
1. There was more leather on the seats. Some areas are now plastic or vinyl where they used to be leather.
2. The hatch in the back doesn’t have the safety lights or the trunk lights.
3. The back door doesn’t have light under the door when you step out.
4. I miss the weather band.
5. Heated seats in the back.
6. The winter button. I used it all the time in the snow.
7. Ashtrays in the back for road trips with friends.
8. No safety sign to put on the road when you get a flat. (I took it out of my old car)
9. I like the 4-speed transmission it seemed to be more responsive. It got rid of much of the turbo lag.
What I don’t miss are the fog lights. Every time they broke it would cost $200.00 to replace just one. They didn’t do much anyway.
Overall it is still a pretty good car. I almost bought a Volvo S80 AWD (23 miles per gallon). After much though it felt like driving a Lincon Town Car. I’m glad I stuck with the SAAB.
