I had one a couple months ago for the weekend. It was a nice car, but I prefer the 9-5 over the 9-3 in almost every aspect. I do however prefer the manual climate controls over ACC though, but then I prefer manual seats over power seats too.
1) 9-5 is bigger and heavier, I feel more secure in it, esp on these LA freeways. I felt safe in the 9-3, but I feel safer in the 9-5.
2) low end grunt better on the 9-5
3) didn't like the 5 spd auto deciding for me what gear I should be in
4) 9-5 exterior a little less generic looking, both are handsome cars
5) dash in the 9-3 feels more cluttered than 9-5, the 9-5 dash looks dated though
Other than that, the 9-3 seems like a good car. Got great gas mileage, passing power is good, nice Euro ride...
