Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Cramped rear seat leg room. Rear door opening tight at shoe level. Swooping c-pillar design obstructs outward visibility. see full Saab 9-2X review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Lack of any type of lumbar support is very uncomfortable. I opened the seat and installed my own inflatable device...much better now. see full Saab 9-2X review
