So quothe Samuel Clemmens, aka Mark Twain, anyway the 9-3SS, the new 2003 and up model, Linear, Arc and Aero with no hatch, is definitely bigger in the front seat than a 9-5. It also measurers bigger in the brochure and with a tape, more headroom, legroom and shoulder room than a 9-5.
Everybody fits differently in different vehicles. I move the seat back when I drive my 6'7" buddies truck and I'm only 5'11".
The seat has more travel in a 9-3SS, it moves back farther giving more front seat legroom. There's definitly more headroom with a sunroof and you save the $1,200 when you get a 9-3SS without a sunroof as a sunroof is standard on all 9-5s, and a 9-3SS is wider inside. It may not feel that way because the cowell/dashboard is so much higher in a 9-3SS. The dash is much lower and so are the window sills in a 9-5, a much lower belt line makes it feel bigger and roomier, but a 9-3SS wins the tale of the tape and the battle of the big guys.
