Used 1995 Saturn S-Series Sedan Consumer Reviews
Efficient and Dependable
After nine years of ownership and 192,000 miles, I still love this car! The cost of maintenance and upkeep is very low. This has been a quality vehicle.
Great little car
I purchased this car with a salvage title to commute to work. Despite it's past it has been a great little car, dependable, great gas mileage (up to 38 mpg). It is a five speed that is fun to drive. Taught my teen to drive in it and it's still running great! I bought it for the style and gas mileage but fell in love with this little car.
Loyal to the end
I got this car for college. It was 6 years old and had 30K on it. Now it has 115K, and I'm sad to let it go. I'm not a car expert, but this car got me from point A to point B for 7 years. I drive my cars hard- turn sharply, gun it on green lights, take very long trips, etc. Gas mileage is around 30mpg with 50/50 city/hwy driving, though the AC makes mpg and acceleration suffer. Regular maintenance & checks are a must. Things don't go wrong often, but when they do, they really go! Serpentine belt tensioner is faulty (had it replaced at 53K and now it needs a new one again!) Interior door panel broke off and can't be fixed. Overall, they won't last forever, but they're great while they last!
Long lived and prospered
My mohter bought this car from my uncle 3 years ago with 200,000 Miles and it still takes off like a rocket. The interior is a little beat up but its still comfortable. I complain about the mileage cause it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.The little guy just hit 235,000 miles with many more to come. The engine has a .5 second hesitation when I slam it, but what do you excpect. A few trim pieces are starting to fall off of the interior. to finish there is also a growing hole in the exhaust (still sounds great though like its after market)
15 years of Saturn
I've had this car since 1995. I've driven it to every state, except Alaska and Hawaii, lived out of it for months at a times- sometimes with my wife and dog- at with over 334,000 miles on it, the thing just won't die. I've been rear ended twice, done usual maintenance on my own, but original engine, compressor, manual transmission etc. I started replacing everything with performance parts after 200k because I was sure it would die by then, but now I'm not sure if it ever will.
