I bought my Saturn at the end of '02 and at 133,000 it's still going strong. I've had some problems recently but with that many miles it's bound to happen. My blinker went out but that was a recall item so it was fixed for free. The only 2 major problems I had was my key got stuck in the ignition and my fan went out, fixed both for under $200.
Will drive it until it dies!

Picked up my Ion new in '03. Car was well priced for what I got (sunroof, auto trans, etc.) Is good gas mileage car, and has enough pep to keep up in city traffic. 3 problems I've had: hood release cable snapped twice, sunroof cover got jammed (was replaced), and drivers side window has trouble going up and down when it's cold (have to hit the door a couple times to make it work). Otherwise, this car has given me no mechanical problems, and has been a very reliable daily driver. I plan on driving it until it dies, or becomes too costly to repair.
Best purchase ever!

I purchaed this car around one year ago adn it has been nothing but a charm! The 2.2 has decent pep when you need it to, and even with my very agressive driving i still average 36 mpg! With 4 Blizzaks this car controls amazing in snow! My car is the 2 with no options but a spoiler in silver. The only bad things about the car are that with the manual mirrors the passanger side one is fixed, so you cant adjust it. Also the head lights are VERY dull, but some new bulbs will do the trick. The only other thing is it used to sometimes not start in the cold, but all you need is a good mechanic to cut some wire in the ignition. Over all if youre at all interested, purchase one, theyre honestly great
don't buy!

I bought this car about 7 months ago. Since then I have had nothing but trouble. There have been 2 recalls, the cd player skips constantly, a plastic piece inside was unattached completely and worst of all, the car never starts. Yeah, it'll start once in a while, but most of the time I have to jump it or keep turning the key for 1/2 hour. It's been to the dealership twice for that same problem, no solution. It's a cute car, yet it feels flimsy. I got in an accident a month ago and the whole right side of the car needs to be replaced because its plastic, and there wasn't even that much damage. It does not handle well in snow.
I would think twice

I can feel every bump in the road, CD player skips while driving/ The seats stains very very easily/ bad on gas mileage, occasionally seems to have tranny issues/ plastic panels fall's off very easily. Material on interior is not the best quality. Horn is very hard to use, seats are not comfortable
