I got this car with 120000 and the transmtion went out. Cost me 1600 dollars to fix. I then put a alpine cd player in it and it fried the stock power wirer for the radio. Two months and one thousand miles later the trans. went out again. Not a very good car to own!

This is a 2001 3Dr SC2. It has been reliable....so far. However, despite proper maintenance it shifts extremely hard. I thought it was only when it wasn't completely warmed up, but it happened all the time. This is an automatic, so I am not mis-shifting a manual. On the other hand, the radio system is awesome for an OMB unit. In addition, the interior room is very scant. My boyfriend is 6'1". He has about 1/2 inch of room above his head (which will do), his legs are really cramped though. No place for him to stretch his legs. Plus, absolutely no room in the back seat.
Reliable, but uncomfortable and cheap.

The vehicle is extremely reliable, and has had little to no mechanical problems, however it is cheaply designed on the interior, miserable to drive, and all around uncomfortable to be in.
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.
Never by a Saturn

When I bought my Saturn Iloved it, great pickup and go, realiabilitly. Then after it hit 100,000 miles everything started to go wrong. My car has constently been in the shop for one reason or another, never costing less than $500. I will never again by a Saturn or an American made car again. Nothing but problems. The dealership would not help me due to the fact that I bought the car private party and not though them, very very bad serivce department.
