Saab Turbo X Review

Comfort and Equipment4 out of 5

The Turbo X is a very comfortable place to be. The leather sports seats have extra bolstering which make you feel very cosseted. Drivers of all shapes and sizes should also be able to find a comfortable position at the wheel, thanks to reach and rake and electrically adjustable seats

It's quiet, too. Wind, engine and tyre noise are all well contained and there are no traces of squeaks, rattles or other annoyances.

The 9-3 isn't the roomiest car in its class, but there is still enough rear legroom for most passengers and a large boot. The SportWagon estates, despite being aimed at the more 'lifestyle' end of the market, can carry up to 1,273 litres with the rear seats folded down flat and offer a split-fold facility as well as an extra under-floor storage hole.

The kit on the Turbo X is as the specification of the Aero trim level of the standard 9-3, which means dual-zone air con, infotainment system featuring sat nav with a large 6.5-inch colour monitor, Bluetooth and voice control. Oh, and you can get the car programmed by the dealer to flash up a personal greeting on start-up with your name, edition number of the car and 'Ready for take-off'.
