What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Saab 9-5

2010 Saab 9-5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse

2011 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
2011 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
