I went from a 96 900SE to a 99 9-5. The 99 9-3's are essentially the same car, with some minor improvements.
The 9-5 has a larger passenger cabin. The back seat can fit adults comfortably, while it is a tight fit in a 9-3/900. The cargo size is about the same because of the hatchback.
Depending on what engine you are talking about, the cars will also drive a lot different. My 900SE was much sportier. With the Z-rated tires and better HP to weight ratio, it drove more like a sports car. That was with the 185 hp engine, newer 9-3SE's have 205. The 9-5 is a "sporty" family sedan in the base and SE models. It does great on the highway, but it isn't as fun to drive as my old 900 was. We stepped up mainly for interior room.
