At $15k you can get into a 9-3SS, probably a 2003 or 2004. As an owner of a 2004 9-3, I would not entirely recommend it. I love my car but it's not the most reliable Saab ever produced. The later cars, say 2006+ are more reliable put probably out of the price range.
I'm thinking a 9-5 is probably the way to go. I'm guessing you could find a 2003-2004 in your price range. These are pretty reliable and the size is just about right.
As far as trim or options, I'm sure others could answer it better. I think it depends on of you want more 'luxury' or more 'sport' (Arc vs. Aero trim). I would just say watch for these three criteria: newest model you can afford, lowest miles you can find, and only get a car with all the service records.
