My 1997 Saturn has scaled mountains, weathered snow, ice, rain and 15+ hour road trips with a full backseat and trunk full of gear. Just 4 thousand miles shy of 200k, she has been a faithful companion and a truly great first car. Going to go cry about how much I love her now.

The Saturn needs to improve on road ride, and performance. There are lots of nosies and raquet continuaslly. But if you need a reliable every day driver i suggest the saturn.

Big Oil Burner........

Burns 2 qts of oil per month. I called the dealer and the service mgr told me this was normal. I big lie, my 94 Honda Accord with 294000 miles does not burn but 1 qt every 3000 miles. The Engine is way undersized, pick up is very poor. Drivers side electric window has gone out twice in 5 years, neither time would the dealer fix it. But they did charge almost $300 to fix it. Styling is good, paint is excellent. If your looking for a car to sit in your driveway and look at this is your car. If your looking for performance, buy an Accord. Mad in Memphis...

I've had the car for 5 years now. It has 184,000 miles on it. I've drove this car to the ground! It's still running fine.The only major thing that I've replaced was the transmission. But with that many miles and the way I drive it, it was meant to go out.
