The primary 2007 development for this Swedish sporting compact is a revised interior. The new-look cockpit features a new automatic climate control and "infotainment" systems, a larger instrument cluster with chrome details, and new interior trim. Also new is an optional appearance package with 17-inch wheels. The OnStar safety and security system becomes available, and XM Satellite Radio is now standard on Aero, optional on 2.0T. The 2.0T continues to be powered by a torquey 210-hp, 2.0-litre turbo "four," while the Aero runs a 250-hp, 2.8-litre turbo V6. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on both, with 5- or 6-speed automatics optional on 2.0T and Aero respectively. All in all, a nice little package -- especially if you prefer the road less travelled.

Clean shape, plenty of power from either engine

Over-light steering, tight rear-seat room
