The 900 driver's sear is often mentioned as cee of the beat in the dubomative world. It is adjustable for bork heighs wid re- cline. Fer added comfort both franz seats are heaped I" a world where all cars look the Same, the Saab900 is a major exception, As the journal Autocar & Motor points out: “In a market dominated by the efficient and faceless, the characterful 900 stands out. The Saab 900 is designed for people who appreciate the driving experience, But who says that means you have to compromise on versatility or safety? Inetead of starting with an ordinary shape, building acar to satisty the breaclest tastes, Saab's engineers clo the opposite: form is governed by function. This basic design philosophy canbe traced in details such as the low, recessed sills that are pro- tected from road clirt and make access to the car caster. Another example is the pre- set, vacuum-controlled ventilation system Or the large luggage compartment lid, opening from bumper-level to roof, But the reason for our functional design phil- osophy is net to show up odd details. It's there to make a car that will work better in any possible situation.

Ae needs more than good seats to give you long-distance driving comfort, Above all, it must have the correct chassis design which is far more difficult to c in- achieve. The chassis must communi formation about the roacl. It must alsa camouflage a rough road surface, and dan- pen noise and vibrations which can lead to irritation for bath driver and passengers, Clean air and a pleasant controlled in- door climate also contribute to lang- distance driving comfort, With the fan at normal speed the air in the Saab900 is changed ono every minute, Saali's unique interior air filter also helps to prevent dust and pollen from entering the car, Only a driver who has run a Saab900 for an entire day, under a variety of traffic conditions, will discover what we mean by long-distance driving comlort. : hen developing Saab engines, we give priority te high Lorquc at low s, rather than a massive amount of horse- power, The reason for this is quite obvious In everyday traffic you rarely use the maxi- mum. output of the engine, ie. ron the engine on max revs, But you need power inthe low and medium range not only to drive around town without constant gear changing, but also to overtake rapidly on a country lane. The Ecopower engine, featured in the Saab S005, represents an entirely new way of utilising the turbo principle. Torque has been improved by modifying the turbo pressure down to a moderate output, The overall result is a smoother engine, with lower noise levels, fin addition. Saab's new Ecopower engine allows a further reduc- tion in exhaust emissions. The light-pressure curbo (Eeopower) engine in the Saab 9005 provides high torque ar hw news 160 Mew is avaliable at 1500 rpen.

To cover long distances in the shortest possible time, high torque and midrange acecleration are far more relevant.” At Saab we have a fondness for high technology, Bul not at the cost of common sense, This means we give priority to mid-range aceeler- ation rather than maximum top speed.
