Thoughts: I've driven both and am shopping for a used 9-5:
The 9-5 is likely to be more reliable (proven design).
The 9-5 is likely to be easier to maintain (more room in engine compartment).
The 9-5 has a much roomier back seat. Kids? (I have one tall one)
The 9-5 is available as a WAGON (the ultimate wagon).
The 9-5 is available USED (so I can afford one).
The 9-5 has a larger engine and is a larger car - more suitable for towing (I have a little sailboat).
The 9-3 has more front legroom/less rear.
The 9-3 has a much stiffer ride.
The 9-3 is noisier.
The 9-3 is not available as a wagon (where does my big dog ride?)
For me the choice is clear; your needs likely differ.
