Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very comfortable even with rear facing car seat behind either driver or passenger seat. Head room was good even with moon roof. see full Saab 9-5 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	These are the best seats ever designed. Really. see full Saab 9-5 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Extremely comfortable and supportive. air-cooled seat option is great in the summer. Front seat ergonomics and comfort blow away those of bmw, infiniti and acura, although leather quality is not as good. see full Saab 9-5 review
