Does a Saturn Aura XR HAVE to have leather seats?

Question

I want all the XR features except the leather seats. I'd prefer cloth seats (Texas heat!!) but I like the other features of the XR over the XE--sunroof, inside features, etc. Does anyone know if they make a Saturn Aura XR with cloth seats? I know it could probably be specially ordered but I don't know if I'd go through all that trouble. Any help would be great! Also, if anyone drives one now, I'd LOVE to hear their opinion on the car.

Answer 1

Leather seats are optional on both the XE and XR, it is not standard on either, though you may find it difficult to find a dealer who carries the XR with cloth since it's the upscale model.

Even if you do get a car with leather seats, you can just cover them up with an aftermarket cloth seat cover, some of them don't look too bad. Of course, that means you'll be spending money on the leather seats plus a seat cover on top of it, but on the other hand it should keep your seats well preserved and help its re-sale value should you sell it in the future.
