This has been a perfect car for the five of us. Kids are all under 9- I can see needing to move back up to a van when we have three teenagers. Cloth interior cleans up great.
What a difference in where it is BUILT!
This one is JUNK! My 1st Saturn nade at Spring Hill was a DREAM.This one built in Wilmington is a NIGHTMARE! It has 81,000+ miles, and sits at the Dealers with it's SECOND blown motor! The maint.history of this car is over 7 pages long. I Love Saturns: Made in Tenn. The cars turned out in Delware will drag Saturn into the grave. They are CRAP! Just check the J.D. Powers reports on THOSE Saturn's. 2nd point: 8 tail light assembly's in 4 years-last 2 out of my pocket at $182 ea. Q: Why didn't Saturn fix the engineering defect,and issue NEW assembly's? Instead we get to buy the same old OEM defective JUNK. Is that right? I would love to buy another built in TN.

Very good car
I inherited this car from my mother who bought it brand new in 2000 for 14k. It has just over 113,000 miles on it and has never had any major problems(save for insignificant oil leak). The car still gets a combined mileage of 30 mpg. Nothings been replaced because it was an early model, without the power options. The clutch is in "darn good condition" as we were told, the body pretty clean save for some crashes. This thing still has some get up and go too. Can get up to speed and keep up with a 2006 Mazda 2.3 until 3rd gear. Overall, I'd recommend this car to whoever is willing to take care of them. Saturns are long for running forever.
Horrible!
I bought this car with 129,000 miles on it in September 2008 and it lasted me barely 2 years and died at 165,000 miles. Since i had purchased the car i had put well over $3,000 dollars fixing things. The engine was horrible and always had something wrong. Recently my car stopped i brought it in to the shop and yet again another engine problem that would cost another 4,000 to fix. That's when i said bye to that stupid car.
"Satan" not "Saturn"!
From the moment the keys hit my palm, you name it, it broke! Timing chain, sway bars, ball joints, horn, power locks, steering column, brake line, engine cradle, air condition, blower motor, horn, seat belt latch on driver side, control button for power window and speakers died. I kid you not, this car ruined 5 yrs of my life! I finally got rear ended and the car was totaled! I was injured but happy to know that I would never have to see that hunk of junk again! Buyers beware!
