John,
A lot will come down to your preferences for space, overall comfort and fuel economy. I have an '03 9-5 Aero wagon and an '06 9-3 Aero convertible...both are fantastic cars, but have their differences. The 9-5 is more comfortable on the highway and quieter. The V6, though you wouldn't think it, has a bit of exhaust noise that the 4 cylinder 9-5 doesn't. The 9-5 is bigger all over, and has some of the most comfortable seats in the marketplace. Mileage on the 9-5 will be several ticks higher...I usually get 30 or 31 mpg with my automatic 9-5. My 6 speed manual 9-3 has never gone above 27mpg. The 9-3 will handle a bit better, but the 9-5 is no Buick...far from it.
Also the 9-3's stereo is crappy compared to the 9-5's...can you get the Bose system in the Sportcombi or only the sedan these days? I had my stereo upgraded in my convertible...cost me "way too much" but it now has the sound system it deserves and there are no signs of any upgrade.
Hope that helps!
Paul H.
