Used 1997 Saturn S-Series Consumer Reviews
Great car
Purchased car new and the auto tranny bit the dust after 167000 on engine and transmission, and 307000 miles on rest of car (I towed additional 140000 behind motorhome) Only non routine maintenance was a rt. front hub assembley at 64,000 miles. Still had original rear brakes. Engine was a bit noisey, but it was fun to drive and reliabiliy/ economy was outstanding.
Saturns are great cars
I bought this car with 53k miles less than three years ago, it now has 120k. I'm religious with my maintainance, but other than that I've had to make only a few small repairs. Will definitely trade this one in for another Saturn when the time comes.

Fairly zippy little car.
Best family car yet for me
I've been driving this car for a while, and I love how reliable it is because it has never failed on me ONCE. Of course I do all the oil changes, and all the tune- ups regularly, so that also helps, but in the end the WHOLE car is great to cruise across the country.
My 1 & only Saturn
My Mom purchaced this car used to tow behind a motorhome. Her plans changed (nothing to do with the car) I was having trouble with my vehicle at the time so she gave me the Saturn. I'm very grateful of her generosity but as far as the Saturn is concerned I would not purchase a Saturn myself. The car is very noisy and uncomfortable. The tilt wheel on Saturn cars are pretty much worthless the way it tilts. I had water come into the trunk from going thru a car wash. The auto trunk release worked for a very short time. The cruise control will suddenly shut off on its own. The automatic transmission does not shift smoothly. For some reason the ignition seems to stick at times. Wish I had a Toyota
