Although you won't see yourself coming and going in a 9-5 Aero, it has nowhere near the limited production appeal of a Viggen. As sonett43 points out, a Viggen will squeak, rattle and generally loosen your teeth up on less than smooth roads. Viggen's are sprung very stiffly, but that's more a characteristic of the 9-3 chassis. The 9-5 chassis is much more civil. Fully indepedent rear suspension and a non hatch/convertible body do wonders improving both the ride and the handling.
Since 2002 9-5 Aeros have sport seats, since 2003 you get the old Viggen Flight School, now called the Aero Academy, and now in 2004 the Aeros have their own unique lower spoilers and valances. I much prefer the dynamics and luxury touches, not to mention the great Harmon Kardon sound system, of a 9-5 vs 9-3.
BTW, are you sure you have a 2003 Viggen?
