Pictures

Great

* This green fuelling system actually improves performance
* A great feeling of space inside
* Great level of equipment without expensive options

Gripes

* Not all areas of the country have enough access to Bioethanol
* Some of the plastics used in the cabin could be more refined
* Other cars in the class are a sharper drive
DriveDrive rating - 3 out of 5 stars
A comfortable car for urban jaunts and long motorway cruises, but doesn't seem as sharp to drive as others in the exec class
ReliabilityReliability rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Saab has a bit of work to do here as their ratings in reliability surveys have been disappointing recently. Well built though
InsideInside rating - 4 out of 5 stars
The curved front dash means you'll feel cocooned behind the wheel and the comfort level is truly excellent
SpaceSpace rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Not great for storage but the boot is a good size and the back seat will easily seat three adults
SafetySafety rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Max NCAP passenger safety rating and standard safety kit includes stability control and twin front and side airbags
Standards and extrasStandards and extras rating - 4 out of 5 stars
There's a generous level of equipment, as is usual with Saab
