I have owned a 2000 9-5 Aero and now own a 1999 9-3 Viggen. Overall I feel the 9-5 Aero is a superior car. However, if my Aero had the same seats as the Viggen I might not have sold it. Just kidding, I sold it because it had 90k on it and I could purchase the Viggen with 40K and still pocket $500 to help pay the taxes. They are both wondeful cars the chassis on 9-3 Viggen shows it's age when compaired to the 9-5.
The LPT 9-5 is again all together different even the base 9-3 is sportier. The 9-5 Aero has far fewer shortcomings as a daily driver (besides the hatchback!) and has a much better reliability record.
I think my next saab will be the new 9-3SS Vector/Aero. Or shoot me for saying it. A Volvo S40T5-Sport AWD. Waiting to see if they come out with an "R" model and to see if Saab addresses thier HP or lack of it in the 9-3SS. The car was wonderful to drive but lacks the kick the 9-5 Aero and the Viggen have never mind the other cars out ther it competes with. If the 9-3SS could be had with 260-270HP they couldn't make them fast enough!!!
