Great Gas Mileage! Fun and sporty car. Good value for your $$. Buy an automatic transmission instead of a 5- Speed though. The 5-Speed gets tiring driving in the city. Great brakes on the car! It had 63,500 miles on it and never had to overhaul the brake system once.
Great little car

Gimme a break. If you have had your car for 170K, of course things are going to go bad on it! If you don't check your oil, of course you're going to have problems with it! If you only listen to your stereo at the highest level, of course you are going to blow the speakers. I love my Saturn. I have about 65K on it. I have had no problems with it since I bought it in 2000. I have yet to make a repair on it. My husband and I both owned Corsica's when we met, and trust me, the Saturn is 10 times better. In fact, we are looking at replacing my husband's crappy Corsica with a Saturn this weekend.
Cheap and Reliable

Had to replace alternator, A/C Evaporator, and a minor part in the clutch (manual trans.) Dealer service has been excellent. Burns a quart of oil every 1500 miles. Interior comfort isn't that great, engine is loud and underpowered even for an economy car. However, gas mileage is excellent. On long trips, I average north of 40 mpg. The paint still looks great after six years. As a testament to the design, I was rear-ended by an Accord several months ago, and came out of it with a tiny scratch on the bumper (the accord took over $1500 in damage).
been good

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.
