Wow- that's a pretty brutal assessment of the newer 9-3. I am 5'10" and 180 pounds and I have plenty of room in the newer 9-3. The front seat legroom and driving position is great, although the rear seat legroom is a little less than what would be required if there were adults traveling back there all the time. The newer 9-3's back seat hip room is a little wider than the 9-5 however. I also had a '95 900S (NG900) prior to this car and the main difference I sense from the driver's seat is that the newer 9-3's windshield sits back at more of an angle for less drag and this gives the impression of less headroom since the top of the windshield is closer to your face (although my head does not touch the headliner). The older 900S/9-3 had a more vertical windshield and was definitely farther away at the top.
I have seen a few 6'+ people post that they had ample interior room in the newer 9-3. Our other vehicle is a Expedition Eddie Bauer SUV and that has *excessive* interior room in all measurements. However, I don't find the 2003+ 9-3 to be cramped at all.
