What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Saab 9-5

2011 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
