Here are some of my thoughts

1. The chassis on the 9-3 is not as good. I used to have a viggen and my 9000 aero feels much more solid.
2. The 2.3 turbo in the 9K offers much better torque and hp. The cse model is eqivelant to the aero except for the seats and the suspension. and many people prefer it just for those reasons.
3. I would trust the auto in the 9-3 a bit more than the 9000, I believe the aisin-warner is the same make as in the Lexus, plus if you ever have to swap it out, it will be easier for the indy to do and likely more of them available . My indy says he never sees the autos out of 9-3's.
4. The 9000 can store more and fit car seats better.
5. either car if it was maintained well will last much longer, so don't worry about the mileage. I've had saabs push 200K miles with no major problems.
6. if it were up to me I'd likely go with the 9000 and put the $1000 in the bank for future repairs. At around 100K little things tend to nickle and dime you until they are all straightened out.
