My Saturn has never failed me, but as soon as it reached 80,000k, it began to "fall apart." It still runs, gets me where I'm going, but rattles and does not sound too well.

I'm currently driving my second SL2, yes the car has givin me every problem that could go wrong but its probably the most fun to drive. Something goes wrong I can't wait for it to be fixed no matter the cost. I'm just about to hit 117 miles and have replaced Engine and everything that attatches to it and tranny in the past couple months. But that also comes with my racing modifications and all the street racing I do. You push the gas and the car responds easy as that. But just like any other car you run her hard she's sure to need fixed over time. Just ask any true racer.

Reliable and great gas mileage...I'm still getting 36 mpg after 225,000 miles! This model's biggest fault is that it is somewhat noisy and it had a bad guttering system for rain (water dumps into your lap when you open the door). I understand Saturn has fixed this problem.
Dead at 38,000 miles

My '93 Saturn SL2 quit at 38,000 miles. It would have cost $2500 for the dealer to rebuild the engine which was more than they would give me for the repaired car. The General Manager of the Saturn dealer I bought it from lectured me that the time element on the warranty was every bit as important as the mileage limitation. By that reasoning if you buy a Saturn with a 3 or 5 year warranty that's all you should expect to get out of the car. He also informed me that his service department was union and worked strictly on commission so he could not give me a break on the cost of the repair no matter how disappointing the car's performance because "it wouldn't be fair."
Slightly Sub-Par

I've had this car (an SL1 with AUTO) for about 10 years now(Purchased new in 93) with about 93,000 miles and it has been quite reliable so far. It's engine is incredibly underpowered & loud. If you're like me and like to go from 0-60 in 15 seconds (That's about all this baby can manage) then you will probably get about 22 miles to the gallon which is about what I get. The transmission is very rough giving me a large jolt between high rpm shifts. Brakes are decent with a good balance of feel and performance. If you want a reliable car, this is a sure bet but if you also want a car that's quick, smart, and fun to drive, put your money elsewhere
