Aurora's influence on the Alero carries through to the expensive-looking interior. All the individual pieces fit together in a way that is natural without being ordinary, scientific without being flashy. The instruments, located under a deep, curved hood that keeps the sun off the faces, are large and legible. Audio controls are positioned in the center of the dash above the less-often-used rotary switches for the climate controls. Alero's interior colors, textures, and shapes are tastefully done and fit and finish appeared excellent in our car.Alero's front bucket seats are supportive and hold you in place well when cornering. Interior space is comparable to other cars in this class, and the Alero accommodates large drivers with ease. We especially liked the seat-mounted three-point seat belts, which move fore and aft with the seat. They seem more comfortable around the shoulder than traditional belts mounted to the door frames.
For 2002, the console area was redesigned with a bigger cupholder, and storage capacity was increased for CDs.
Rear seats are surprisingly roomy, offering lots of headroom for taller passengers.
