    Rear Visibility Issues

    Although she's been driving her '97 900 Talladega 5-door for more than
    six months now, my wife finds rear and three quarter vision is still a
    weak point in its design. I don't drive it that often, so I thought it
    was just me. Are 9-3 or 9-5s any better in this respect?

    Any thoughts would be very welcome.

    Best wishes for '04

    Steve

    Grass is always greener. Have her drive a convertible. Then send
    her back to her own car and she'll be pleasantly surprised. :-)

    Actually, the 9~3 is identical, unless you are talking the latest
    version. Some of this has to do with driver seating position (how
    _you_ sit in the car). However, if you want real visibility,
    there are other sedans with nearly perfect 360degree lookability.

    This visibility issue is not limited to the NG 900 or 9-3. It due to the
    "stylish" high back ends and resulting smaller rear window. The
    Classic Saab hatchbacks have that huge rear window, "blamed" for being
    so big it allows too much sun into the car - but it is great for
    visibility. Another car with great rear visibility are the older Volvo
    wagon series - the 245 and 740 wagons.
