I drive a 2002 9-5 Aero SW, my wife drives a 2002 9-3SE 5-door, both are 5-speed.
The biggest difference as a driver is the seating position. The 9-5 Aero is low and "hugs" you, whereas the 9-3 is a bit more detached. That said, both cars are capable haulers (cargo and a$$). The 9-3 has been a bit better regarding maintenance costs, and it's simpler to do maintenance on for the DIYer.
I went from a 1997 900SE coupe to the 9-3, then to the 9-5 Aero SW. What I miss most about the 900 coupe is the awesome Viking wheels and analog clock.
I think you'll be happy with a 9-3, especially if you can track down a Viggen.
