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.
great 2nd car

we bought my wife's saturn a little over 2 years ago. other than having to change the oil and get a few small services done, the car has been stress free. it has 93000mi on it now and still runs like a champ. eventhough we probably wouldn't by another saturn, i have absolutley no problems with this sl2.

I will be quite honest because I don't want anyone to have the problems I have had. I bought the Saturn one year used with 25k miles on it and after owning the car for 4 years it has been an utter nightmare. I have experienced...a cracked cylinder head at 65k,broken fuel pump, two alternators, 3 struts, transmission problems, electrical system problems, 20 mpg, and a partridge in a pear tree. I have steered many people away from buying Saturns and after the way the saturn Corporation treated me I will never again allow a friend or cooworker buy a Saturn.
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.
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.
