Had it since 96. Only complaint is that its too big a car for this engine-not enough power to accelerate. Very reliable, great fuel economy. I got what I paid for and a little bit more. 120K and only major repair was the clutch at $1400. No major complaints although I'm ready for a BMW ;-)

I love my saturn SL1 so much. It's my little engine that can. I can't even express how much that car means to me. When i was in an accident, it didn't show ANY damage, except the front license plate holder fell off. i reccomend saturn!

My Saturn 97SL has been nothing but a great car. This car get's 32MPG and has never needed any major repairs other than the normal tuneups and oil changes. My Saturn has 93,000 miles on it and it still runs like it did the day I bought it. It's great for my family and it has NEVER, in 5 years, broke down anywhere (knock on wood).
