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.

I've had my SC2 for about 5 years and put over 80K miles on. It would now have 105K but I hit a tree head on at 65mph, so no more SC2. However, my only injury was a couple scratches on my right hand. Very safe car. Fun to drive after adding a few performance modifications. Handles well through corners. It was a good experience, but I would not buy another. I had to replace the starter, fuel pump, alternator, sun roof module, driver side door regulator, radiator, water pump and battery. It was practically new again at 105K miles. Have not had a good time dealing with the Saturn dealer.

I love my car to death. It is so much fun to drive. It is very peppy and has amazing pick-up. I would recomend this car to anyone (that doesn't have a family). It is a great single person or couple car. Trust me when I say, NO BABIES!
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.
