1995 Saturn SC-1 Coupe
I bought this car in 2004 with 113,000 miles. I continue to drive this car to this day and the car now has 190,000 miles. The car has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. The only repairs that I have needed to perform on this car is changing the battery once, alternator once, front brakes twice, and change the oil twice a year myself with full synthetic mobil one oil. Recently took the car on a 1,000 mile round trip to vegas, achieved 39 mpg, averaging 70 mph. Driving home was 80-85 mph and dropped to about 36-37 mpg. I average about 31 mpg in city and highway driving. I could not be more pleased with my Saturn!
Very Reliable
This Saturn was my first car, and so I didn't know much about maintaining it. I bought it for $5280 with 69K miles on it, and now,4 yrs later, It has 125K miles on it and just now broke down on me. I have gotten great use out of it, especially on road trips. It has far outlasted what I expected. The interior was the first thing to fall apart on me, but the engine was pretty good to me. Great gas mileage. Thumbs up for reliability.
Cannot find the replacement
I bought this stick, basic-loaded car in January 2001. It was used with 85k put by the prior owner and former crash (it was fixed) of the front. Currently I have 137k (20k this year) and it did not indicate major problems (X-finger). Surely the exterior is not like in new car and I damaged the interior ceiling cover accidentaly by hitting it with the corner of my Road Atlas, but appart from that I do not have any major complaints. Since my purchase I replaced the alternator, batery (this August), fuel filter, EGR and PVC Valve (I had error code =32), and tires, spark plugs, the cables. It started burning oil a little, but it does not smoke. Good car.
Most reliable car ever owned
Bought this car in 2000 with 60,000 miles. This was the most reliable car I have ever owned. Routine maintenance performed along with replaced alternator and serpentine belt and that's it, in nine years! Excellent gas mileage. The interior however is very cheaply made. Alot of cheap plastic, not built for comfort. But those who want a practical car...very good! No rust, sporty looking. Not very powerful either.
Saturns are Underrated!
I've had my '95 saturn SC1 for about 5 months now and I love it! Sure there are small problems with the car. Plasticy interior, not very fast. But for the price you can now get a Saturn for, this car is unbeatable! Just like any other car, Saturns will also need work done to them. I have had to clean an EGR valve, clean the throttle body, and change the brakes. Saturn is known for their cars being easy and simple to work on. You won't need to take it to a auto shop. The exterior look and design of the car is awesome, one of the best looking 1995 cars ever, it still looks new, Gas mileage is awesome too! Saturns are a great starter car for a new driver or for someone who just wants a car
