Cranking & Headlights & Console & Audio & Heated Seats

Hi folks,
I sold my trusty '90 Talon, and I've picked up a Canadian spec '98 Saab
900SE-T with 58K from the local dealer. I'm hoping that some of you can
help me with some feedback on the following:

1) Car usually takes a second of cranking to start, which equates to
several crank rotations. Not much difference whether hot or cold.
Normal?
2) Can higher wattage bulbs be safely used in headlights and/or fogs?
(Safe as in not melting anything)
3) The console between the seats with all the power switches is not
illuminated, is this normal?
4) Specs on the audio system. I've checked FAQs and saabnet info, but
can't find anything concise. I have what I assume is the premium
Clarion 160W cassette stereo with changer capability. It sound OK, but
I have some Blaupunkt components, and a couple of small subs that I
suspect would improve things markedly. Is it advisable to hook these up
to the stock amps etc, (to keep everything clean)? I'd also appreciate
any suggestions on where to place the tweeters.
5) The heated seats seem to shut off just as they're getting nice and
toasty. I also test drove a base 9-3 and they actually needed to be
turned off as they became too warm, which is normal?

Best regards,
George
Ottawa.
