An exceptional little car! This is my second one - I flipped the first one 2X and walked away w/ broken nail and bruised knee. Bought another, immediately. I'm the original owner, 8+ years. No actual mechanical problems (besides sunroof), just normal wear and that's been rare - electronic fuel pump is the only part replaced thus far. Drives well in all conditions. Back seats too small for adults, but fine for kids and carseats. Sunroof no longer working - something w/ cables, fixed it, broke again, left it closed. Power window motor beginning to slow down after 8 years. Wish I could "save" it for my 3 y/o to drive in 13 years! Safe & reliable.
Piece of junk dont waste your money

has 127,000 on it and it has problems weekly my girlfriend has had it in the shop every month since she bought it, Transmission problems, stalls, wont start, speedometer and tach dont read accuratly, radiator leaks, burns a little oil, Headlight plastic discolors over time and makes for a very dim set of headlights. Now about the car it likes to wander on the road sound system stinks ,accelerations is terrible, seats are very very uncomfortable Yet the car was perfectly fine when it was purchased the only good thing about the car is the gas mileage about 27-34 mpg
Reliable, but noisy

I may have the only wagon w/ manual transmission, and the performance is excellent for an economy car. 71k miles and only repairs were tuneup (scheduled), front breaks (55k miles), the fuel pump (recall) and a loose wire for the reverse lights (free fix @ dealer).

In short, My 1997 Saturn SW has delivered everything which was expected by me. While not ever accused of being a "head turner" (but no Hondas are either), it it, nevertheless one of the best and reliable vehicles which I have ever owned. And the dealership (Saturn of Monrovia, CA) is also "top drawer." When Asked, "would you ever purchase another Saturn," my answer is always in the affermative. ---Railnuts---

Great car for the price and utility. Gas mileage is a definite plus.
