how many years would you plan to keep it?
It may be worth trying it with 4-5 adults in the car. If your kids reach teenager size while you still have it, then the reduced legroom in the 9-3 vs the 9-5 might be a consideration. NoSnaab's point also may be more valid in that case if you need to regularly haul around 5 adult sized people, as any car middle seat can be tight for an adult... though by the time they are teenagers, the oldest anyway will likely be fairly independent (eg driving their own car) and you will likely have less need to cart 3 teens around everywhere at the same time.
I have on occasion seen late model 9-5's with stick. Maybe there is a difference in availability USA vs Canada, but aside from commanding a higher price, they do seem to be out there.
