I figured there was no way that a supercharged 4 banger was going to run at 30 mph in 4th gear without lugging. I was wrong. The powerplant is powerful and flexible. It purrs like a kitten until you need that right pedal, make sure you have a clear path if you decide to mash it. The dealer let me take their demo for a weekend. I put 500 miles on it and only gave it back to them long enough for them to prep it.

It was unfortunate that there was a service campain to correct a problem with the camshaft timing right after I purchased the vehicle. Once corrected the car's full potential was reached. It has been a lot of fun driving this car. No other major defects. There was an issue with the front brake rotors but the dealership replaced them for me without asking and did it for free. I had some frustration, with Saturn, trying to find some technical answers but did manage to get what I needed eventually.

Wanted to lower my payment and save on some gas. (traded a 2002 camaro z28). I was teared up when I shut the door to my Z for the last time. But I have to say, what a fast little buggy, and it's alot of fun to drive. I will look at the speedometer and freak when I see I'm doing 85 in a 45 without realizing it.
