I would get a 9-5 aero :)

Viggens are a LOT of fun with their small size, torquey engine, cool intereior etc however from what I gather you want to take clients out to lunch or wherever they need to go. What makes the viggen so much fun makes it not the best as a client hauler due to it's lack of room in the back seats. Thus, I would get a 9-5 aero sedan or wagon which will haul clients around in a much more comfortable manor!

The Sport Sedans are also great cars, my brother 04 aero has been flawless. I haven't spent enough time in the car to know how much room there is in the back compared to a 9-5.

Viggens are great highway cruisers (just like pretty much all saab's) & getting new springs/shocks drastically smooth out the ride! The cars weakness is it's flexy chassis. The steering rack brace/clamp as well as subframe brace is a must for any 9-3 especially viggens.
