The problem I see with the 9-5s is engine sludge. My '01 9-5 LPT wagon fell victim to this and needed a new engine block (courtesy of SCUSA). Inasmuch as I loved that car (it had the Premium package and vented/heated seats), the engine sludge problem was an big issue for me.
Hence, I went with '06 9-3 Aero SC.... :D
I'd still recommened the 9-5, but you need to pay particular attention to possible engine sludge. You may not get a clue of this from the maintenance records, either.
I had my oil changed in my 9-5 by the dealer every 5k miles (more often than recommended), but my 9-5's engine still sludged up.
