Compared to other models it was a good value, company seems to be customer focused. No hassle sales at time of purchase.
Better than S-series!

After one problem with the body control module (which appears to touch most electronic functions), the car has become reliable, enjoyable, and dependable. My only concern is the "small" fuel tank! Excellent touring vehicle and an underrrated family car. Build quality is less than expected - obviously it's not made in Spring Hill -- too bad the workers in Delaware don't take more pride in their output.
Would buy again

This was my first saturn and so far in the last 2.5 years I've put on 65,000 miles. Overall, very reliable, good gas mileage. It averages 31 miles/gal. Was in 1 accident and it continues to perform well-bumper needed to be replaced. Shakes at about 70-75 mph and I've had a hard time starting it once/6 months. It doesn't quite turn over and the dealer can't find the problem. No other major problems. Love it but wish I had gone for the 6cyl engine instead.

I've enjoyed driving this car. I purchased it 2 years old with 12,000 miles on it. I am glad for the extended 75,000 warrenty. The car has performed very well over the last 88,000 miles. My biggest complaint is problems with the engine coil. Its been replaced every 35K miles. Other repairs I've made: New steering rack (65k), Catalytic Converter (95K), Accelleration assembly has been 100% replaced over time...problems with sticky pedal, CV Boot (55K). In my experience, these are not excessive repairs, except the engine coil which was replaced under campaign then broke in the same manner later. Its also alway had a slight hesitation under load while climbing.
Beware: get a Honda

I spent over $10,000.00 in repair on my 2000 LS2 from March 2000 to October 2009. the engine and transmission are adequate but this car nickel and dimed me to death on sensors, steering, leaky battery, car doors that wont lock, catalytic converters. My car is worth 2000 but will cost 3200 to repair. Wont pass smog, second catalytic converter, so its gone. Should have bought the Accord I compared it against. Only buy this card if you want to get to know your mechanic better. Good riddance Saturn
