A '99 9-3SE (160K miles) and a '03 9-5 Linear wagon (103K miles).
Seem about equal in terms of what they need. The 9-5 is much nicer to drive. Have only had the 9-3 for two years, but have the entire history. Seems to be mostly pretty normal stuff. Had the 9-5 since 40K and has needed steering column, rear shocks, coolant bypass valve, DI cassette, assorted light bulbs, few other things, mostly under CPO warranty.
9-5 currently needs an A/C evaporator and the 9-3 needs an A/C compressor (bad bearing).
Still prefer a 9K to either one, although the 9-5 is growing on me.
