I'd support any suggestion for a Viggen 4-door for the wonderful seats and good stock sound system. 4dr viggens were pretty common in 2001-2002.

However, a 9-5 aero (02+ or whenever they started using the nice seats) would be a nice choice. 9-5's seem to depreciate faster than Viggens, they have the same engine, similar fuel economy, and are more roomy and refined. The regular 9-5 seats are good, but good aero seats are the best if you're putting on lots of miles. The first year or two of 9-5 aeros did not have aero seats. The 9-5 aeros seem to have a slightly lighter feeling clutch than the Viggen. I think they have the same brakes except for the slotting.

A Viggen will be high 20's for mpg, a 9-5 mid 20's.
