An exceptional little car! This is my second one - I flipped the first one 2X and walked away w/ broken nail and bruised knee. Bought another, immediately. I'm the original owner, 8+ years. No actual mechanical problems (besides sunroof), just normal wear and that's been rare - electronic fuel pump is the only part replaced thus far. Drives well in all conditions. Back seats too small for adults, but fine for kids and carseats. Sunroof no longer working - something w/ cables, fixed it, broke again, left it closed. Power window motor beginning to slow down after 8 years. Wish I could "save" it for my 3 y/o to drive in 13 years! Safe & reliable.

has 127,000 on it and it has problems weekly my girlfriend has had it in the shop every month since she bought it, Transmission problems, stalls, wont start, speedometer and tach dont read accuratly, radiator leaks, burns a little oil, Headlight plastic discolors over time and makes for a very dim set of headlights. Now about the car it likes to wander on the road sound system stinks ,accelerations is terrible, seats are very very uncomfortable Yet the car was perfectly fine when it was purchased the only good thing about the car is the gas mileage about 27-34 mpg

I bought this car last winter when my 93 Cavalier died on me. I was low on money and was looking to get a car that was affordable, reliable, and got good gas mileage. I could not be happier with my purchase. Aside from some hesitation on starting, I've had absolutely no problems. This car gets really great gas mileage, and I'd really recommend it to anyone looking for a practical car to get them through school.
Reliable car at a very decent price

227000 miles folks. Need I say more? Having bought this car at a Goodwill auto auction for about 700 dollars(with about 211k at the time), I'd say i've gotten the value out of this car at least 10-fold. At first I was a bit skeptical, but after a while I fell in love with it...that's right, I fell in love with a Saturn. Oh sure, poke fun. But as far as I'm concered, this is one of those "too good to be true" things that actually lives up to its claim. It works fine, and I only take it to the shop for oil changes. It is absolutely the best purchase I've made in a long time.
Best family car yet for me

I've been driving this car for a while, and I love how reliable it is because it has never failed on me ONCE. Of course I do all the oil changes, and all the tune- ups regularly, so that also helps, but in the end the WHOLE car is great to cruise across the country.
