Review

I have owned my car since 2001 and I must say people get annoyed when I pass them on the highway. I am a road warrior by trade and I love my manual shift, manual window with the cruise control option. If you read the review from 11 sep 04 by Klaire it is exactly what I would say but I don’t have power windows so I don’t have that problem. I commonly take it over 100 mph and it goes. My favorite upgrade is my wider tires it brings the handling and stability to new levels. Warning do not drive over 100 mph with the stock sized tires! My other vehicles are a BMW 5 series, Volkswagen passat. I love my cheesy Saturn. It’s the cheapest to maintain.

Favorite Features

Cruise control, wider tires

Suggested Improvements

Wider tires, Rims/Hubcaps

Excellent gas mileage - between 32- 35MPG in the city. Very reliable & excellent in the snow as long as you have good tires. Cheap interior - the power window has a tendency not to work and the plastic is low grade but mechanically, this car just goes and goes. The 5 speed standard is peppy and easy to drive. Seats are comfortable and visibility within the car is also good. Engine drags when the A/C is on though.

Favorite Features

Gas mileage, reliability, and 5 speed.

Suggested Improvements

Upgrade the interior plastic, look for a new power window design.

Surprising car

Review

I bought this car last year and it still runs good after 145k miles. It starts every day during Canadian winter. It's reliable, fast and fun to drive with the 5-speed transmission. I surprised some cars with 16.67s for ¼ mile. Some plastics feel real cheap and it burns oil, but it's not expensive to repair. Other problems, the gas gauge and A/C aren't working anymore.

Favorite Features

Good engine performances, nice handling, reasonable gas mileage.

Suggested Improvements

Standard cupholders, no more cheap plastics, less noise, no burning oil engine, more comfort

I bought this car for my wife in 1999 with 150K miles (hwy) on it. We owned it for 4 years until we moved then sold it to my sister with 177K miles. PROS: Very reliable (no major repairs needed); easy to work on yourself and lots of fun. CONS: Sunroof motor broke, starter and oxygen sensor went bad but with 150K miles you need to expect some minor repairs.

Favorite Features

Safety Gas mileage Sporty design

Suggested Improvements

Hard to clean rear window from inside. Better quality headliner needed. A little more headroom.

Review

Just recently bought this vehicle off of a private owner. Seems to run real good and the perfomance is good. The body style, I like it pretty good. The difference is that I've went from a dodge minivan to this car. This was a big step for me, whom is a mother of 2 small children. Important is it has enough room for the hole family, but at the same time, it is still small enough to still look real sporty. Gas mileage is wonderful!!!

Review

My father was nice enough to buy me a Saturn for my 17th bithday, and we've been together ever since...the Saturn and me...me and my dad too. This 1992 Saturn SL2 is a great car. Sure it isn't the snaziest, or fastest, but it sure is a great car. It has never given me problems and it's worked when I needed it. I recommend it to anyone and everyone!!!! Buy a Saturn and you won't be upset!

Favorite Features

The sportiness. Not the fastest or most agile, but a pleasure to drive!!!

Suggested Improvements

Give me more money and I would've bought a Porsche!!! Nothing to add to the Saturn at this time!!!

It keeps going and going. Sadly, I will be parting ways with her but we've had a good run. Roof leaks, Burns Oil, but still has good handling and gas mileage... those dent resistant panels still look great.. this after years of abuse out in the elements (no garage)!

Favorite Features

Cheap to operate

Suggested Improvements

Gotta do something about engine noise and burning oil issue.

Review

I have had to replace the alternator x3 and the sepentine belt x3 in the 10.5 years I have owned the car. Leather driver seat wore out/cracked after about 5 years. Low head room for tall persons. Slow acceleration from a complete stop. Smooth ride. Good fuel economy (20 city/25-30 HWY). Would own again but newer model preferred (LS series).

Favorite Features

cruise control, smooth handling

Suggested Improvements

better lasting altenators, higher headroom
