2011 Saab 9-5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan turbocharged 220hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	One of the roomiest back seats of any vehicle. Test drove competitors TL, A4 and 3-series and found that none of their backseat room was anywhere close to the Saab's. Also the truck is extremely large making the car very useful for a growing family. see full Saab 9-5 review
2010	4dr Sedan turbocharged 220hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	Most car seats can be comfortable for a 1 hour drive. Few can be comfortable for a 4 hour drive. Luckily the Saab seats fall into the latter category. see full Saab 9-5 review
