The Saturn sedans seat five, four comfortably. SL1 and SL2 come fully trimmed in cloth, while the SL uses cloth and vinyl. Leather trim is available for the SL2 for $700. Front seats are comfortable with built-in lumbar support, though the seat bottom cushion is a little short.The unconventional Saturn interior features a central pod that contains climate and audio controls. The instrument panel, protruding center console, and large switches and stalks make the car easy to operate, even if you're wearing big gloves. The forward portion of the front console has an ashtray that can be moved from side to side or removed entirely to provide twin cupholders.
Reduced-force airbags are standard, of course. The biggest change for '99 inside the sedan are longer buckles that are easier to reach with the front shoulder belts. Shoulder belt height adjusters have also been improved to enhance ease of operation. A child seat holdout mechanism makes it easier to thread the belt webbing through the child safety seat by not yanking against you when the seat belt is fully extended. Next Page
