2000 Saab 9-5 Wagon (1214 words)
The 3.0-liter V6 engine in the 9-5 SE wagon is unusual in that it is turbocharged by only one bank of cylinders, where common practice is to use the exhaust gases from all cylinders to spin the turbocharger.
Part of the Saab character demands that the engine be allowed to rock back and forth freely on its transverse mounts, creating a strong moment in the drivetrain as it does so, and making on-throttle and off-throttle transitions less than smooth.
Saab went to an independent rear suspension on this wagon to increase the load width in the cargo bay, and got a lot better handing in high-speed corners in the bargain.
