I'll weigh in here and say I would *not* buy an '85 900T, period. '85s have the infamous decaying wiring harness and are not worth the risk to buy IMHO. These harnesses *will* decay eventually, and they don't always happen in obvious places. I'd flat-out avoid them.
As far as the 4-door, they probably are more rigid than a 3-door simply because they lack a hatchback. Those hatches are nice to have but all that space back there has an adverse affect on body rigidity. The trunked 2-door and 4-door models are far more rigid and, I'd agree, also track and handle better. Of couse, you can get the worst of all worlds and get a 5-door... all the flimsiness of the 4-door plus a flimsy hatch! :)
FWIW, my advice would be to hold out for an '89 or '90 - you'll be happier with the results. If you're a DIY type, consider finding a good older 8v car or a newer non-turbo and converting to a 16vT. If you've got mad skillz with an engine hoist you can swap engines over the course of a weekend.
