2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4

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

The front leather seating is very comfortable. Having the heated front seats in twe winter allows for quick comfort. The multi adjustable seating for both driver and passenger allows for each to set seats to their liking then set in the memory location see full Volvo XC90 review
