Certainly the later cars are better - past history always being a factor, of course.
I much prefer the look of the Aero body style, so if you are after the best looking, most reliable 9000 it has to be a late Aero or a 1997 Anniversary, with the 2.3 full turbo engine - accept no substitutes!
The Aero badge brings extra marks for style but the seats don't suit everybody, either for looks or for practicality when getting in or flattening the rear load space. If you want an automatic, the engine will be the same anyway: or you can easily make any 2.3 turbo, manual or auto, give better-than-Aero performance. Finally, you can fit a Saab Sports suspension very cheaply. either to freshen up a car with some miles, or to bring it to Aero spec.
My choice: 1997 2.3 turbo Anniversary automatic, with sports suspension. Just as well, because I've got one parked outside.
