I don't think you'll be dissapointed with the 9-3SS in the snow. I feel that the newer chassis is notably superior in the snow. I have a 1995 900S 2.3l (n/a) and a 2006 9-3SC. Both have 5 speed manuals. I use only all-season tires on both and my 9-3 is far better in the snow than my 900S. The ESP and TCS certainly help, but even with those turned off, the 9-3 has much better traction. You may see less improvement than that because of the transmission difference, however. I think that the slippage of the torque converter in an auto box when starting from rest tends to help prevent excessive wheelspin. And the little bit of extra weight over the drive wheels doesn't hurt, either.
