There aren’t a lot of times when you can honestly award points to a Saturn over a Mercedes-Benz or BMW. Unless, of course, you prefer easy controls that are discussed in the Owner’s Manual for the sole purpose of enlightening society’s lowest common denominators. For the vast majority of buyers, those two big dials for fan speed and mode will be self-explanatory. Even the center section, a digital readout surrounded by buttons for temperature control and other secondary functions, should prove straight-forward. Interestingly, the climate control dials mirror those used for the radio, yet they feature plastic rather than rubber grips. We don’t understand the logic here, as rubber is softer to the touch and imparts a sense of quality.
