My 2006 wagon has 80K+ miles with no suspension or turbo problems. Search the board and I think you will find that the high output turbos are fairly bullet proof. The '06 is rated to tow 3500lbs, so you should not have a problem.
All 2006-9 9-5s have Aero engines, so mileage depends on what you mean by city. My driving is a mix of country, small town and medium city roads, with a little bit of big city mixed in (DC, Baltimore, NYC. I average 22-27 mpg depending on various things, but on a long trip using cruise control and staying at 65-75 mph I get 30-32 mpg.
I have had a few minor issues, but nothing serious. With this motor it is important, IMO, to use only full synthetic and change the oil and filter every 5K miles. Take a good look at the service records if you can. Any work done by a dealer is traceable by VIN.
