We traded in a 2000 Buick Lesabre for a 2003 9-5 Sedan and a 2003 9-5 wgn.
The Lesabre had about 3" more shoulder room and 2" more front leg with the seat all the way back but in this position even at 6 ft tall I can't reach the accelarator in the Buick or SAAB (33 in. inseam). So what does it matter? They don't get any bigger then a Lesabre unless you go to a truck. Lastly the wagon interior is as the sedan cargo area not considered. An Aero is a 9-5 dimensions are the same.
Yes, I have heard about a cabin odor, but.. having owned 3 9-5s, 2 9000s, 1 87 900 S and 1 99 9-3 I have never encountered the odor.
We use the 2nd cup holder in the center arm rest.
My 6' 4" nephew bought a 9-5 because he said, " One of the few sedans which I can adjust the seat to get good head room and leg room."
Go to a few sites and compare Auto interior dimensions you will be convinced. You are in one of the larger sedans.
Rhonda, Your driving one the safest autos on the road keep your baby in it.
