For me the big difference is the Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) on the 9-5 vs. live rear axle on the 9K. With IRS, cornering is at least theoretically better - and this is borne out by many reports. If I could convert my 9K to IRS at a reasonable price I would. (This is purely academic as nobody offer a kit - unless someone knows different!) I would love to go round corners like other cars - without lurching and rolling all over the place. Apart from that the 9K is a super car. And then there's the Hatch vs. Estate (aka "Wagon" for some reason) issue.....
