I own both a 9-5 and a 9-3SS V6, so I can't comment much on the 2.0L engine. I did test drive a 2003 9-3 Vector 6-sp manual once, and the engine felt fine. Maybe you drove a 2.0(t) don't know if it's available for those years?
Regarding the rest of the car, I think we need to keep something in mind. The 9-5 is meant to be a near-luxury car, and that's why the look and feel of the interior is satisfying. However, the 9-3SS is meant to be a notch below. I think in general, the 9-3SS may have fallen a little short of the mark but it's not completely fair to compare the 9-3SS to the 9-5. That said, I'll say that the 9-3SS feels less like a Saab than my 02 9-3 hatch.
