Saturn has been a very reliable vehicle, and performs in an exceptional manner for my 580 mile commute every week. Cost of operation very low up to 100,000. There have been no suprises, no major ticket items. Only tires, wipers, filters and regular oil changes. Best car I have ever owned.
Sad to say good-bye

I have had this car for almost 10 years, and only in the past few months has it started to feel old- noisy, rough going up hills. I don't like the new Saturns and only wish I could get another 1997 Saturn brand new again. It gets good gas mileage, looks good (even when it's dirty), & has given her all over the years. I have had no major repairs. If you take care if it, it will take care of you. I will be getting an '09 Toyota in a few days, and topping off the gas tank for the last time tonight made me very sad. She gave her all for 143M miles, and still has more to give to the next owner. My dog will miss sitting in the back window, I am sure.
Got hit by a semi and walked away

Have had this car 10 years & have taken care of it. It's served me well. Last week a semi hit me twice, once broadside, on a 45 mph hwy and I walked away with just some bruises -- and the car still drives. Will buy Saturn again.
Good Car

I've driven my Saturn SL2 for 7 years with no major problems beyond minor repairs. It's never broken down on me except one time when the battery needed to be replaced. I started with 64,000 and now have 189,000 miles on it, driving through rush hours traffic every day to work. It has been a good and dependable car. I've taken it on multiple long distance trips without any problems. The road noise is not very good in this car and the only annoying thing has been that my power locks and windows have not worked correctly (some not at all) for the last couple of years. Besides that I would say this is a good and dependable car that doesn't cost too much and hasn't required much maintenance
You get a little more than what you pay

Some minor problems but I had the saturn no hassle plan for the first 5 years. Once paid off, I make sure to get the oil changed and add a little Dura-lube or Slick 50 for some good luck. 70,000 miles later no problems. I treat it to a christmas gift each year. One upper motor mount in 1999 (didn't need replacing) Tires in 2000, still had 8/32 of tread (practically new) 2001 new sound system (now with 200 watts of clean power) 2002 alignment and struts (against the recommendation of the technician). The Manual trans is the best I've driven from BMW Audi Passat Honda and Toyota (very smooth).
