By relatively early on (for sure ~84/85 but maybe even earlier) A/C was standard on all US 900 cars. Not sure if your saying there wasn't a power sunroof (false although many were manual) or just not a tilt roof (true). The hole in the roof not a big deal anyway. Plus they all had safety features like heated seats standard which you can't say for the new 9-3. They all also had headlight washers once DOT allowed it (and in Europe all did).
Odd mine seems to have memory seats and mirrors; I have always found the seat and mirrors positioned exactly where I left them! And good seats they were too. Could easily fine adjust the seat back with less futzing than power seat backs which seem to move too much when fine tuning position. Besides maybe I am crazy but the memory seats on my 9-5 never seem to hit exactly the same position anyway nearest I can tell. General vicinity but often seem different enough I start fussing with them again.
The 900 really had all it needed for it's day and is still a wonderful car to drive today (mine is 17 years old now). In the area of safety things are of course better today. Although competent at the task, the 900 wasn't really a long distance high speed interstate cruiser; for that I now always take the 9-5 but for everything else the old 900s shine.
