You get one-touch sunroof controls -- That's not fair! The Viggen definitely needs one touch open and shut sunroof controls and one-touch close window controls.
I think that which car you choose (9-5 v. 9-3) depends on a variety of factors. I chose the Viggen over the Aero because the Viggen has more storage space, I'm single (no need for the interior room of the Aero), the V is a bit more fun in the turns and has less weight and seems to brake faster, and doesn't have dual climate control and other stuff for married folk. And yet, if I do ever get hitched, the V isn't as minute as the A4/S4 or the 3-series, plus has more headroom and storage.
When my friend and I test drove the Aero and Viggen (back to back test drives, with us alternating driving each one, and both were sticks), I thought the Aero had more torque steer/camber steer/whatever it's called. This was probably an anomaly. We also both liked the handling of the V better. This was also probably an anomaly as far as the suspension goes, because the V's suspension can be brutal on regular roads but fun as heck in the twisties.
So, anyway I had to stick up for the Viggen, even though the Aero/9-5 is probably a nicer car.
