How many times can you play with the customizer menus and infotainment stuff versus the incredible difference in horsepower and torque advantage of the 9-5?
Plus you prefer the manual.
Plus the 9-5's Harmon Kardon makes the Linears system sound like a cheap portable radio.
An 02 9-5 Aero with xenons also has useful stuff included in the touring package with park assist and rain sensing wipers, doesn't that make up for the lack of menu gadgets in the 9-3? Also dual power seats with memory in the 9-5 and those incredibly comfoy sport seats.
The 9-5 was $10k+ more car when new.
Gas mileage is rated only 1 mpg better city and highway for the 9-3.
No brainer, 9-5 all the way.
A launch package 9-3 Linear is one of the nicest Linears availible, infotainment and xenons can't be had in 04. A Linear is a somewhat lower Saab and a 9-5 Aero is a top line AWESOME automobile comparable with other makes of V-8's.
You didn't mention the Certified warranty so I assume these cars are not at a Saab dealer and that you will be taking them to the dealer for a pre-purcase inspection.
