I bought by Saturn my second year of law school when my other car died. Needless to say, I did not have a lot of money and was despirate. We looked at Honda Civics and Ford Contours, but bought the Saturn to get what I wanted (power windows/locks, cd player) for the amount I could afford. I have had no major problems with this car except for a defective recalled part in the Summer of 1999 which was replaced without cost. I recently put a new alternator and battery in it. It has 110,000 miles and drives like the day I bought it. I am planning on keeping it another three years (gotta pay those student loans off first!) and maybe get a VUE.
Great Car

I have had this car for over 5 years with no major problems. This car has worked out great. It has been to the West Coast, East Coast, Canada, and even Florida. Still running strong. Average around 32-34 MPG highway and city.
Solid Performer

Bought with 12K in 7/98, now with 102K. Only repair required was for the sun roof motor. Decent gas mileage but a tight fit for anyone over 6' tall and 190 lbs. But our kids loved it and I loved the fact that I didn't have to put a lot of repairs into it.

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).
Not Bad

Bought this car with 130K, now have 139K on it. Bought to save on gas and keep my truck in the garage. It is now my dependable, little work car. Small on the inside for someone 6' or over (I'm 6'4") but I get 33 mpg+ and my truck only gets 18, so I love it. For a plastic car, its not bad but it rattles like a can of spray paint. Put new plugs in when I bought it and the dealership had just replaced the clutch. Other than that, no problems to report. I drive it to see my folks and that is a 6 hour drive. Not a bad car.
