Replace 9-3 SE with 9-5 Aero Wagon?

Lease is up on my '01 9-3 SE in 2 months and am definately going to replace it with a wagon. Seriously considering a 9-5 Aero Wagon if I can afford it (hopefully with the GM vendor discount I can). However, wondering if some of the things I Like and Dislike about my 9-3 will apply to the wagon:
Like:
1) Tight Handling. With the 9-5 wagon being a substantially larger car, will it have the same handling? Take Mulholland Drive in LA every day as part of my commute and LOVE how the 9-3 takes the curves. Does the 9-5 drive too much like a "big car"
Dislikes:
1) Torque Steer. Drives me crazy!
2) Turbo Lag.
3) Build quality. Too many rattles & creaks for a car in this price range IMHO.
Also seriously considering the Audi A4 Avant 3.0. Like the smaller size and in my experience, Audi fit & finish is flawless.
