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

I bought this car last winter when my 93 Cavalier died on me. I was low on money and was looking to get a car that was affordable, reliable, and got good gas mileage. I could not be happier with my purchase. Aside from some hesitation on starting, I've had absolutely no problems. This car gets really great gas mileage, and I'd really recommend it to anyone looking for a practical car to get them through school.

94-96 saturns had extended the warrentee to 100,000 on the head due to a faulty design. My 97 sl1 had a head go out at 56000 miles and saturn would not cover any of the costs. On going problems of electrical componets and poor service at saturn of appleton is just cause for my feelings of all saturns.
Big Oil Burner........

Burns 2 qts of oil per month. I called the dealer and the service mgr told me this was normal. I big lie, my 94 Honda Accord with 294000 miles does not burn but 1 qt every 3000 miles. The Engine is way undersized, pick up is very poor. Drivers side electric window has gone out twice in 5 years, neither time would the dealer fix it. But they did charge almost $300 to fix it. Styling is good, paint is excellent. If your looking for a car to sit in your driveway and look at this is your car. If your looking for performance, buy an Accord. Mad in Memphis...
