I also switched from an '03 9-5 Aero sedan a few months ago to an '06 9-3 Aero SC. They really are totally different cars. After a few thousand miles, I have to admit that I wish I had stuck with a 9-5. I took the advice of a Saab dealer mechanic friend of mine who said that the 9-3's were bullet proof reliability wise. Unfortunately, it is, in my opinion, much more cheaply made. The interior quality is no where near what my 9-5 was. I had read when it came out that the V6 was an amazing engine and couldn't wait to drive one. Well, yes, it is smooth and quiet and has ZERO vibration at idle (unlike the 2.3 in my 9-5,) but it is also very thirsty. I was not expecting the significant decrease in mileage, for what is advertised as the same horsepower and torque.
For what it's worth, for my next car, I will go back to a 9-5 (SportCombi.)
