I bought my Saturn new b/c of the "no haggle" hype. It has given my grief ever since. Thank God I bought the extended warranty, b/c with out it, I would have been SOL. I've had problems with the transmission, the coolant system, and oil consumption. Recently the cylinder head cracked (happened 8 days after the warranty expired, to their credit, Saturn was "nice" enough to pick up the tab, as the service tech reminded me over and over). The speakers have all blown and the sunroof leaks. No More Saturns for ME!

the car was good until the head cracked at 79000 miles.The dealer accused me of lack of maintenance and would not help with the $1600 repair, even though there are factory notices of known problems of cracked heads. i would never buy another Saturn, and I tell everyone I know how I was treated.

I brought my Saturn SL2 1996 in 98. And all I have to say is that it was and has been a great buy. The only problems I've had to date is the need to replace the alternator, battery, timing belt and I the oxygen metor. I have practically driven this car to the ground. I initally got the car with 30,000 miles now it is well over 75,000 and runs as good as new. This car has travel with me from NY to BOston and BACK. ANd the service I recieved from the Saturn dealership was exceptional. Its a great car in my opinion.
nothing fancy, outstanding value

this is the first car ive ever owned and i love it dearly. i bought it for getting to work this summer and hopefully many summers to come, it has no power locks nor windows, nor many drink holders. 4 cylinder engineaccelerates like a four cyl should, nothing more nothing less. The seats are the most comfortable ive ever sat in, athe mileage is awsome, and it always starts when i turn the ignition. everyhting that i count as crucial, ie mileage, comfy seats, and reliability, has not disapointed, but i would like some power locks some day.
