Go for it! I own a 2001 Aero wagon with a five speed and it is one of the best cars I have ever owned. I did the PCV#6 update (about three hours and $60 in parts) and also swapped in a new DIC when I bought it (the old one is in the back of the car just in case). The car had bad rear shocks and springs that I had replaced by a Saab specialist with OEM springs and Monroe sensa-trak shocks for about $500 and it now handles much better. It has about 126k miles. I average about 27 mpgs (50/50 highway city driving). The radio has great sound but is difficult to upgrade to play modern media (mp3s). There are a few annoying features that may become troublesome as time goes on (factory alarm system, automated climate control, screwy ignition key where you better not lose both keys, hatchback that locks itself (super annoying IMHO)), but otherwise it is a great driving machine.
