Beyond the obvious limitation on rear seat and trunk space, you will find the 9-3 handles much better. You will find the interior to be a little less lavish than in your 9-5. The leather isn't to the same quality level (unless the one you are looking at is one of the very few that had the "natural leather" option), and the door and side panel trim is more fragile.
My CV is a (2006) 4 cylinder manual shift. The V-6 automatic is obviously thirstier and cramps the engine compartment, but provides smooth and powerful performance.
There had been an issue with weakness in the V-6 overflow tank - other than that, I've heard no complaints.
