Mulii adjustable power seat with very soft leather. The side support could be a bit better. I loved the soport seats but they are only offered on the V6 model which is much more thirsty. see full Saab 9-3 review |

2007 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 250hp 2.8L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
not bad for a convertible but if you regularly have more than 2 passengers rear seat is tight to get in and out with top up. see full Saab 9-3 review |

2009 | 4dr SUV 297-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
In agreement with 99% of all other reviews...back seat is a little small but it isn't to say that you cannot sit back there. Taller people may be a little cramped with head and legroom depending on how far back the front seat is positioned see full Infiniti EX review |
2009 | 4dr SUV 297-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The back seat is small, not a problem for my wife and I, it works just fine for our limited use. see full Infiniti EX review |
2008 | 4dr SUV 297-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The rear seat is pretty tight on this car. It is not really meant to haul around families as much as empty nesters or women that need some extra room in the trunk. I'm 5'10 and can barely fit in the back seat if the front seat is positioned for someone of my height. see full Infiniti EX review |
