Have a 2000 9-3 SE (179k) and a 2004 9-5 (80k)Aero sedan. I drove a few 00-02 Viggens back in 2003 when I decided to buy the 00 9-3 SE instead. It was just a better daily driver than the Viggen. The Viggens ride was harsh and the chassis flexy and you really noticed it with the extra power. I really like the 9-5 Aero, especially for road trips. It is amazing that we get 33 mpg on the road at 75-80 with this thing. I do notice more vibration from the engine with the 2.3 than the 2.0 in my SE, I had the same observations with the Viggen's 2.3. Same motor, go figure. Reliability wise, the 00 9-3 has been better than the 9-5 Aero. We had a ton of electrical problems with the 9-5. The 00 9-3 was/is the most reliable Saab I have ever had, or car for that matter.
Overall, I think you will like the 9-5 better, whether wagon or sedan.
