1999 9-3 SE Engine options?

I'm in the market for a '99-'02 9-3 SE. I've never owned a SAAB, and in my research, I've come up with some questions I'd like to get clarified. Any help is greatly appreciated:
1) Do all 9-3 SE cars have the High Output 200 BHP engine (when new), or do some have the 185 BHP engine. I'm only asking about SE cars here. In particular, do all 1999 9-3 SE's have the HO engine?
2) Do the 1999 SE's only come in 4-door hatchbacks, or is the 2 door coupe also available as an SE?
3) One of the cars I have my eye on is offered by a private party. It's a '99 9-3 SE. I've run across some references to recalls for this year. Can someone explain what these were? Would a carfax report let me know if these were taken care of?
4) I've read a few times about problematic DI cassettes on these cars. Please explain what this is and what the problem is? Also it would be helpful to know about repair costs.
5) Are there good reasons for choosing a 2000 or later over the 1999, which seems to be the first year after major revisions (to the 900)?
Thank you very much for your help.
