Need Advice on Buying a Used 9-5

I bought a used '06 9-3 19 months ago, and have been quite pleased with the car. So much so that I am giving this car to my son and will buy a used 9-5 sedan for me. I would appreciate your advice on a few questions:
(1) I want to buy something in the age range of '05 to '08. I've read the suspension and interior was changed I believe in '06, but are there any other significant differences among the years in reliability or features? Do you recommend older or newer?
(2) My wife and I like a better riding car, so should I stick with a base model, or can I consider an Aero?
(3) Is the Electronic Stability Control standard on all the years?
Many thanks, this is a great site for Saab owners! I've owned 3 Volvos in the past, but enjoy my 9-3 more than any Volvo I've had.
