The 5 speed Sentronic allows you to practice all the manual transmission tricks like downshifting to control your speed, holding a particular gear for a particular situation or corner, just like a manual when you want to. When you don't it's a great automatic. A 9-3SS Sentronic doesn't have a sport mode switch like a 9-5, but instead the transmission adapts itself to your style.
True there's some delay in the shifts, particularly downshifts, but one can quickly adapt. For ultra high perfomance driving, like on a race track, the Sentronic has the added benefit of eliminating a whole class of potential shifting errors, missed shifts, mis-matched revs, over revving, and such, so one can concentrate on cornering lines and driving technique.
