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

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

2013 Volvo C70 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2013 2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Great front seats, very comfortable. Minimal wind buffeting with the top down. Volvo offered an accessory wind blocker with this model but it's not necessary. Interior trim on the arm rests could be softer. My elbow gets sore resting on the hard plastic. I keep a small fleece pad in the car to solve this little issue. see full Volvo C70 review
