I have a 2007 9-5 Aero (automatic) and a 2008 9-3 Convertible (manual). Both cars are superb but different. The 9-3 is my favorite, possibly because I prefer manual transmissions. The 9-3 is quick, responsive, and fun. But for all effective purposes, the back seat is to small to put people into. The 9-5 is solid, has a real back seat, and is a good long trip car. One may claim that the interior is sort of boring since it is similar to my 2000 9-5. I've only had both cars for 13 months without a single problem. So I can't comment on the long term reliability.
I recommend both cars. Just decide how you will use it.
