This has been a wonderful car. We bought our '96 SL2 in July of '99 thinking about a family. It had all the features we were looking for and that it handles well in bad weather. The only problems I have had is the driver's window regilator went out at about 55,000 miles and the alternator went out about seven months ago at 85,000 miles. But this car has held up with harder driving. Now that we have a family, though, we are finding that it is a bit cramped. We are thinking about the new Vue.
I Like It!

I think that this car really is what Saturn has made it out to be: "A different kind of car for a different kind of consumer." Not only do I enjoy driving this car, but it really is great on gas and maintainence (which is good for a poor high school senior like me!) If you're looking for an affordable alternative to others on the market while not sacrificing all the perks of a luxury car, I would definitely choose a Saturn.

I bought my automatic gold colored saturn at 116,000 miles. It has 120,000 now. For me being at just 6 ft.it has a lot of room. Luv the trunk space. No rust; the fiberglass panels have held up well. I've had the usual problems: quart of oil at every thousand miles, needed O2 sensor replaced at time of purchase. And, my front windshield gasket has breached. Water all over on the driver side. Aside from the problems this car runs great. With some maintenance and continued care, I exspect this car to work well for my daily commutes. And at 34 mpg. I can afford a little better to fill up.
Bigggg Mistake

Car looks great but has been nothing but problems - some minor but still aggravating, but others quite major. It has only 65,000 and now has a cracked cylinder head. Oil leaked into the cooling system, and vice-versa. Come to find out, its a known manufacturing defect especially on single-cam engines of this vintage. Add this to numerous leaks, squeaks, breakdowns, and being underpowered - I've had enough. No more Saturns for me.
Poor Saturn Quality-Buy a Toyota/Honda!

This has been the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Most problems were under the 36000 mile warrenty. I have had the following problems. Warped break rotors (replaced twice). Stuck speedometer (replaced). Short in electrical sunroof (fixed). Oil leaked from gear box (fixed). Clutch burned up (replaced). Generator failed (replaced). Saturn service is polite. My next vehilce will be a Honda or Toyota. The build quality is very poor. Cheap materials for the interior.
