Larry...
The S60 is identical in size to the BMW 3 series, Audi A4 and MB Class... The 9-5 competes in size to the larger models of those competitors... Up front you'll notice the difference in the shoulder room, and in the back seat it's just a flat out larger space all around...
As far as the handling goes.. I can only compare the base versions of the 2.. The S60 is a very well balanced car in terms of its weight distribution.. the 9-5lpt is a softer ride.. but my understanding is the Aero is a much tighter/sportier ride.. And my understanding is that the middle model of the 2002 was stiffened up to resemble the old Aero .You'll need to decide for yourself as to what type of ride you're looking for.
With regards to the steering, I noticed that the SAAB seemed to provide a little more feedback .. while the Volvo seemed to have a more more luxury/remote feel...
Good luck with your decision ...
