I've often wondered why Saab didn't put the 9-3's 205HP HOT engine in the 9-5. When I was car shopping back in 1999, I was torn between the 9-5 (roomy, comfortable, smooth ride) and the 9-3SE. It really came down to the engine in the 9-3SE, which I feel is superior to the 2.3L in the 9-5. The 9-3SE engine doesn't sound or feel like a 4 cyl. The 9-5 with the 2.3L does. As for the V6 in the 9-5SE, I felt is was coarse and not worth the extra expense.
