Have had this car 10 years & have taken care of it. It's served me well. Last week a semi hit me twice, once broadside, on a 45 mph hwy and I walked away with just some bruises -- and the car still drives. Will buy Saturn again.
Excellent Value

We bought this car new nearly 11 years ago. It has exceeded our expectations in many ways. It is simply a reliable, fuel economic vehicle. Very few problems, and we are approaching 188,000 miles, and it still runs well. We also still get about 32 MPG in combined City/Highway driving. The interior space is pretty good for a compact car. It does burn oil, but that is what happens to most cars with so many miles. Our complaints are few: The interior has mostly cheap plastic. It is also a little loud when driving. But these things are hard to avoid for such an inexpensive vehicle.
Great value

Bought this car in 2004 to replace my the same model (2002 edition) which I had put 220,000 miles and decided to upgrade. This car has been excellent in reliability and the body style is much improved (no pop-up headlights anymore) than the previous SC2 years. Overall a great value for anyone who doesn't mind giving up the plush luxury car for a very reliable, fuel- efficient, decent car.

This has really been a great car. I have had very few problems with it (knock on wood). It's roomy inside, and I like the dash better than the L300 2003's I just looked at. The new ones have the windshield very close to your face. Saturns feel very safe and handle nicely. Their customer service is the best. You'll never meet nicer salesman in a dealership.

Previously owned an SL sedan (1992) which was given to my daughter when I got the coupe.She purchased a 3 door coupe in 1999. This car has needed only routine oil changes, tires etc. until late 2002 when the original battery and exhaust system were replaced by the dealer whose service has always been excellent.I plan to keep the car for another 30000 miles(110,000).
