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.

I love my Saturn

From all the talk I hear of increased oil consumption from this model, I can truly say I havent experienced any. My SC2 gets about 28-30 MPG in the city, and nearly 38 on the highway, so I can always expect to get 300 miles at least out of my 10 gallon tank. The handling is great, the acceleration is peppy, and for a Saturn, it's really easy on the eye.

The Saturn SC2 was originally developed to compete directly with the Honda Civic EX. It boasts a sportier look, engine, and of course, dent- resistant door panels.

I've owned 3 Saturns in my life, and I will definitely buy another when the time comes. Great gas mileage, fun to drive, well put together, and the people at the dealership are always very helpful.
