I own a 99 9-5SE (not the wagon), and a 2000 Cross Country SE. I think cargo space is about the same. I personally like the 9-5 better. It is roomier in front and back seats (I'm 6.1), better instrumentation, quieter, and is more spirited. It also is far sexier (if you care about that sort of thing). I can't compare inclement weather handling of the AWD vs. FWD of the Saab since we've been having a real mild winter in the Northeast. But I would guess that the Volvo's AWD benefit is marginal.
BTW, I just got my 9-5 with 25K miles on it for about $17k Email me if you're interested in the name of the place I got it from.
