I've had my SLII for nearly 10yrs and it won't die. It's been stolen, in several fender benders, gone on long road trips, never had covered parking and it's in good condition and runs like a champ! It's by no means a luxury vehicle, but it still gets great gas mileage and has comparative get-up-n-go to current cars in it's class. It's encouraged her family members to purchase Saturns, all at very affordable prices. After 14yrs it still passes the state's strict smog standards, has never broken down or left me stranded, and I would guess is close to or over 300,000 miles on the engine (odometer was broken 5yrs ago when it was stolen). I love my Saturn!

First and foremost, let me just point out that this is a 1994 Saturn. We bought it for $800 as a daily beater to keep the mileage down on our newer cars (a Ford Fiesta SE Sedan and a Fiesta ST) and let me just say that we ended up falling in love with this car. It's quirky, it's fun, and it's reliable. Its very typical of an early 90s vehicle. Automatic shoulder belts with a secondary lap belt, one airbag in the entire car that I'm honestly not sure functions, plastic everything, no cupholders, and the clear coat is practically gone. But it's one of the most comfortable, dependable, and reliable cars we've ever had. Yes, you sometimes have to smack the dashboard for all of the lights to come on, and yes sometimes a little smoke comes out of the exhaust, but it starts right up every time. The most we've had to invest in repairing it in the last year was $18 for the shift cable bracket. Downside is that since Saturn has been shut down and this car is 23 years old, parts are a bit difficult to come by. Also, the odometer is stuck at 124k. It most likely has about 150k on it.

I'm the only person I know who has not been 100% thrilled with their Saturn. I honestly believe mine is a lemon. New engine, transmition, brakes, muffler, three alternators... It's ridiculous. One thing I can say is that the customer service of Saturn dealerships and mechanics is the best I've ever seen.

Good to see other owners submitting reviews. Bought my car used with 46,000 miles and as of this review my odometer reads roughly 124,000 miles. Needed about $900 worth of repairs when I first got it (snookered by the Toyota dealership where I bought it). Over the 7 years that I have had the car, it has needed $2,900 worth of repairs, not including regular maintenance. About $1,000 of those repairs were to fix an oil leak caused by a bad engine gasket. Despite all of the repairs, it runs, and runs pretty well. Survived a number of long road trips, camping trips, and many trips to the ski resorts without a problem. It just keeps going and going.

I never had any problems with my Saturn. It did have an oil leak so I stopped getting my oil changed 4 years ago and just started adding new oil in it. I have put well over 203,000 miles on this car without any problems. Seriously. I had wanted a new car so I kept thinking that with not getting its oil changed it might break down or something, but it never did! I actually sold it, and I must say I know it will keep going strong with the amount of miles and the sad sad way I abused it. (yes I know I was young & dumb I will never not change the oil in a car again)
