1999 Saturn SC1 Nimble handling and bang for the buck. By Mike Knepper, New Car Test Drive .com

The Saturn story has always led with value. There are few other showrooms where a customer can get more bang for the buck. The SC1 coupe tested here is a perfect example.

Added to that value story is Saturn's focus on customer relations, generally not matched in those other showrooms. And the SC1 offers a unique look that's clean, sleek and a little daring.

The great looks happened two years ago when the coupes got completely new aerodynamic skins and a handsome new interior. New, yet they managed to carry over some of the styling cues from the distinctive look of the 1991-1996 originals.
