Depends on what's more important... Posted by Wil W [Email] (#1148) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Wil W) on Wed, 2 Aug 2006 07:34:21 In Reply to: 06 9-3 Aero SC vs 03 9-5 Aero Wagon, Confused, Tue, 1 Aug 2006 21:32:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have an '02 9-5 Aero Wagon CPO and love it. I think it mostly comes to if you'd rather have space and refinement or more tossable and more current/updated. Both are wonderful cars, but the 9-3 feels smaller and thus more nimble and tossable. The 9-5 is an older design but it is more spacious, feels more refined, but is still fast.
I went with 9-5 because I have a '89 SPG that is my "play" car. But I really like the 9-3 and did consider it. My main complaints were similar to yours. The controls (especially the signal stalks) etc. felt quite cheap and seemed much lower in quality than my '02 9-5. Also the exhaust note was a little louder than I liked. I don't necessarily want everyone to hear me coming. But I loved the feel and the smoothe V6 power. Just my .02
