Back into the fold?? Considering 99 9-3

Hello from and ex-Saaber thinking about coming home!
I sold my 95 900S to a friend at work just over 2 yrs ago and have missed a number of things since. Now, a 1999 9-3 is for sale for $16,500 Cdn with 129,000 kms. Its a blue 5 spd, 5dr w/ sunroof and the high pressure turbo motor which the chap says has 205 HP! Is this true? This is significantly more than my old non-turbo 900S and I am quite interested. Also, this user group is filled with some of the best behaved and helpful persons on the internet. I really miss that!
I am going to have a quick look tomorrow to see if I am interested. The interior is blue cloth. I don't really hunger for leather but I am nervous about the blue if I remember what it looks like... not my first choice. However, I love the hatchback and prefer the 5 dr and 5 spd so some compromise might be in order. My 95 was dark green (w/charcoal cloth) and looked GREAT with the Antera mags I had.
Soooo... I already know all about most Saab characteristics and have read that the 9-3 has many improvements over the 900.
What 9-3 items should I closely check into?
What fuel is recommended for the 205 high press turbo motor?
Thanks,
Reg
