Yeah, my Escort was a crappy car all round, but it did have solid lap belt.
I just bought a 1992 Saturn SL2. A seriously nice car. Even my
German-car-driving buddy says so. It has mouse belts. The upside of that
is that the lap belt locks solid instead of being on an inertia reel. I
really like that. Keeps me from sliding around on the leather seat. It
also passed the Fed standards so that the leather steering wheel sports a
nice cloisonne emblem and a cruise control instead of one of those %&%$# air
bags.
