As far as build quality, I'd have to lean towards the Volvo. It feels more unified as if forged from one piece of metal, as opposed to the 9-3 which feels like an assembly of assemblies. The powertrains are also very different, with the S60 (2.4T) being very smooth and seamless while the 9-3SE is peaked and much more deliberate. When driven modestly and at a constant speed, both cars drive like european touring cars, but when pushed, the S60 remains a nice touring car and the 9-3SE responds by turning its hat around and becoming a pretty aggressive sports car.
They are very different vehicles, and despite some of the drawbacks that we point out here with the 9-3, I still wouldn't change my purchase decision.
