I bout my saturn sl with 121,000 miles on it last november since then i have put on 15,000 miles. It ran fine at first burning just a quart here and there which is usual, but then in about february my transmission blew. It didnt end there after i got tht replaced i kept having more nd more problems. the oil problem kept getting worse and worse ik have to buy a case of 12qts a month i just replaced my drive axel my tie rod ends nd now i have to do my ball joints. it seems it just doesnt end with this vehicle i would not recomend it for anyone like me who is on a tight student budget and can barely afford the oil and gas much less repairs

At first the car was Great! but right around the 90k mark things started to go bad. I've had to replace the alt. twice. and now I've been told the car is burning oil and I need a new engine. NO WAY! The 2,3 and 4th gears went out on me in traffic. that was fun! and it's been goin downhill from there. I will say this its a tough car. I've been hit 3 times and you wouln't know it. Once by a Izuzu Rodeo which the Saturn torn up the rodeo and I walked a way with a scracth and a 2in hole in the bumper. It served me well, could have been better though mechanic friend asked me what I drove. I said saturn "keep oil in it"he retorted. boy was he ever right!

I got this car when i was a newly wed and poor! SL with AC as the only extra. Just passed 105k miles and no problems except the ac the 1st 6 months (pin hole in the compressor replaced under warranty). very dependable. good milage and fun to drive. I have had none of the problems i read in the other reviews. hate to sell it ( its paid for) but need more room for the family. little bit loud and sits low. best $13k i ever spent on a car! recommned it for quality and economy.
