I myself can't decide between the 93 and 95, so I told my dealer I wanted to do a side by side road test. He gave me a 2007 9-3 Aero V6 auto sportcombi vs 2006 9-5 auto sedan. To be honest the 9-3 v6 just felt like a more refined car. I guess the smoothness of the six is no match for the growly 2.3t of the 9-5. However in all fairness to the 9-5 it was an auto tranny and I am sure it would feel smoother with the manual. I will be testing a 2.0t 9-3 manual against the 9-5 manual next week. I hope this helps me decide. The ride on the v6 9-3 was definitely tighter so was the ride but the power and smoothness of the six just made it feel like a more expensive car. I am not sure the 9-5 was even quieter than the 9-3. I will report back next week after driving the 9-3 four banger vs the 9-5.
