Saab: Rear Visibility Issues

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

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.

Re: Rear Visibility Issues
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.
