2002 9-3SE 5-door and 2002 9-5 Aero SW, both with manual transmission, both purchased used (14K and 32K respectively). Reliability has been about the same, disregarding any negligence from previous owners. The 9-5 has more features, but also more that can/will need repair.
The 9-5 is a larger car, but if you don't need a larger car, the 9-3 is a great car with very good fuel economy and cargo capacity.
I find maintaining the 9-3 to be a tad easier (better access to service items).
My advice is don't rule out the 9-3.
