great reliable car with wonderful gas mileage. manual transmission is my favorite way to drive, but this particular car has problems with the first gear. if you can not drive a stick with skill, you will jerk the car on start due to the first gear. i totaled mine, T-boned a car while going 50 mph, and this car had no intrusions, and i was not injured from the wreck due to its great safety
Saturns are great cars

I bought this car with 53k miles less than three years ago, it now has 120k. I'm religious with my maintainance, but other than that I've had to make only a few small repairs. Will definitely trade this one in for another Saturn when the time comes.

My car has been nothing but trouble since it crossed 35K mark. A new alternator, engine mounts (replaced twice), brakes, rotors, electrical problems, rattles, noisy belt etc. to name a few. The car is uncomfortable to drive and a total lemon.
Disappointed

This was my first and last Saturn. I currently have 70,000 miles on the car, it was purchased new, but I have had many problems. The following components have been replaced: the air conditioner compressor; water pump; fuel pump; horn; alternator; and upper motor mount(twice). The automatic transmission also clunks sometimes when it up shifts. This car does get plenty of tender loving care and is not abused.
Highest recommendation

I bought my Saturn SL new in '97 and have since driven it 65,000 miles in all types of weather, city and highway, short and long distance etc. I have not had a single complaint or a single non-scheduled repair. I love the way it handles, I enjoy driving it, the dealer's stereo sounds great, and I can fit a remarkable amount of stuff in the very spacious trunk (plus 50/50 fold down back seat). Love it, couldn't recommend it more.
