I've had this van for 3 years and its been nothing but a headache. It was in the shop 2 days after purchase for a auto sliding door malfunction. The headlights have malfunctioned in the middle of the night on a car trip out of state. We were stranded until daylight until we could drive it to the nearest dealership, and it took them a week to fix it!!! Worst of all are the breaks. The brakes malfunction from time to time, and the ABS light comes on. I've had it in the dealership's shop 8 times just for this problem, and they won't fix it! They keep telling me they can't get an error code. All together I've had it in the shop 20 times in 3 years. Don't buy this van!

I loved my first two Saturns; a 1992 SL-2 and a 1995 Sc-1. The trouble is, the Relay isnt a Saturn in the traditional sense since its essentially the same as the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6 and the Buick Terraza. The ride is rough, handling is poor, and the acceleration is weak. I really wanted to like the Relay but its been in the shop twice for warranty repair within the first 2000 miles. The issues were; the Service Theft System warning light is constantly coming on and the engine runs rough, often hesitating. My best advice, do some homework.

Bought the car because we had our third child and I'm really happy with it. I enjoy driving it and it is very reliable the only time it never started was when i left the radio on (my mistake). Had to replace the hub and bearing at 75,000. It does have trouble with stalling my mechanic told me what the problem was something with the electric fuel something with aftermarket part still on the expensive side but if you give it a little gas when you start it. Yes i know it's not ideal but for what i paid for it. I guess i got one of the good ones. Look, it's not a Lincoln or Mercedes you do get what you pay for stop complaining and get a more expensive car if you want perfection.
Saturn is on the move

My wife and I have 6 kids and they enjoy the space and watching DVD's while we travel around town or on the road. We like the storage compartments in the back and over head.The power outlets that let you plug just about anything into it.
Great choice for this family of 6

Getting a Saturn Relay turned out to be one of the best moves we've made. Having four kids, we wanted to make sure we got a vehicle that would be convenient for all of us. Sometimes you don't know if it's the right vehicle until it's too late. And that can be unfortunate. as it turns out we picked the right one. The kids all have their "favorite seats" and they enjoy long rides keeping occupied by watching a movie, listening to music, or playing video games, all with the option of using dual channel wireless headphones. As far as driving goes, it handles great, I like the way the Relay sits up, it's not to high off the ground like some SUV's, it's perfect.
