Can anyone give me any tips?

I looked at a 9-3 Vector Sport Sportwagon today. Facelift 57 plate, 1.8T engine.

I know nothing about Saabs, so wondered if people could help with a few questions.

1. What kit does the car come with as standard, and what should I be looking for?
2. What realistic mpg could I get out of it, on a slow cruise?
3. How reliable is the car generally, and how reliable is the engine?
4. Does it have a timing belt or chain? If a belt, what are the intervals?
5. What is the service schedule?
6. Is there anything in particular to look for? Common problems, etc.

The car is silver and looks really quite nice. The interior is a bit weird, but I liked it too. It's £3300.
