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.
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.
Good little car

I bought this 1996 SC2 in 2002 with 65,500 miles on it. OVerall i am happy with the car. It is fun to drive and handles well. Have had some mechanical problems that probably shouldn't have happened. The gas mileage is excellent (almost 40mpg on highways) and the people at saturn have been great with my repairs. The interior could be better as mine rattles all over the place. As it gets older i find that chaniging my oil is becoming more of a necessity (used to be after 3000 miles the oil would still look great). I am comfortable inside the car, but a bigger person wouldn't fit, and the backseats are useless.
Still Looks New!

Excellent bright red paint job that is not found on newer Saturns! Beautiful sleek body with hidden headlights; handles like an expensive sports car!
economical and smart

My Saturn has never let me down. It needed a windshield wiper motor replacement and I went through a few radios and some tires, but the important parts of this car just work. I keep wondering if I'll ever have to put brake pads on it. At around 55k it started to squeak a little in the dashboard but who doesn't.
