Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2008 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Comfortable for tall people. Lots of front seat legroom and headroom. Telescopic steering. Centre armrest adjusts nicely, I can drive with both elbows resting and still hold steering wheel. see full Saturn AURA review |

2008 | 4dr Sedan 252-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Tilt/telescoping. Power and heated. They hold you in place in curves better than a sedan usually does. see full Saturn AURA review |

2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Cramped rear seat leg room. Rear door opening tight at shoe level. Swooping c-pillar design obstructs outward visibility. see full Saab 9-2X review |

Lack of any type of lumbar support is very uncomfortable. I opened the seat and installed my own inflatable device...much better now. see full Saab 9-2X review |
