Thoughts on 9-3?

I have been looking at purchasing another 9-5 with an auto trans for my commuting and business use,and there are some excellent deals on 3-4 yr old models, as we all know. But then I drove a newer 9-3 (05) and found it quite sporty, with outstanding seat comfort. Cheaper interior materials, but very nice exterior lines to admire so it kind of makes up for it.
But to the point: I then drove a 9-3 Aero - OMG - what a hoot! That little rascal handles like a sports car compared to my older 9-5. Slam it into turns while braking, then drop a couple gears on the auto and squirt out the other side... it just responds - no float, no lean.. very little torque steer... I'm very impressed. The suspension is a bit busy on the freeway, but not that bad.
Anyone else impressed by these little rockets, and switch over from the 9-5? Any thoughts on reliability?
