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."

Never needed a major repair, change oil and taken in to dealer for checkups regularly. Always starts, very little rust. However, with the wide tires and low vehicle weight, it can be tricky in the snow/ice.
Best old used car I've ever had

I bought my SL2 w/ 71000 miles on it. It ran really well for a long time and was very reliable but then as it got older it started leaking oil (around 100K miles), the motorized seatbelts stopped working which made it tough to get it inspected, some of the interior in the car cracked, and if it got too cold outside (now I live in VA where we have just a few truly cold days a winter) it wouldn't start. It was good on gas, and even though it was a 4 cyl it still had pretty good power to it. I eventually just traded it in because it was just so old and it had a lot of minor problems and I got tired of paying to fix and tweak all these little things on it.
Still going at 201,000 miles

I've owned my SL2 now for 9 1/2 years. Only major problem: at around 70K or 80K miles I had a clogged fuel injector which caused the engine to intermittently only fire 3 cylinders. After getting that fixed, no major problems. The general consensus is that Saturn's engine will start burning oil around 70K to 100K miles. Mine burns about a quart a month, but still passes emissions and I figure that oil is pretty cheap. Otherwise, very reliable, just passed 200,000 miles and going strong. Not great performance, not flashy, but gets me to work every day without complaint.
