i like my saturn SC2. it has served me well. i hope to drive it until it dies out. in the past 4 years the only problems i have had was a cracked radiator and my sunroof motor died. otherwise it has been a good car and has great gas mileage.

I'm amazed GM could build a car this reliable. I'm not impressed with it's resale value, but overall, I like the car.

We have found the Saturn to be a reliable, economical car. We have had no major problems with this car. Our car is a standard shift and has been very difficult to get the car into first gear. However, dealer could never find anything wrong. Just before the warranty expired, the battery wouldn't hold a charge. It was replaced by the dealer. We have especially been pleased with the deale
VW feel, Toyota reliability, Kia price

Fun to drive!...fastest 0-60 in its class, light weight & tidy size, firm ride, crisp handling, nice shifter/clutch. Reliable...0 mechanical problems in 88,000 miles, dentless body panels. Economical...25- 38 mpg. Easy to live with...xlnt A/C, tons of headroom, surprising cargo capacity. Safe...stiff structure, good crash ratings. BUT: drivetrain is crude, with loud unpleasant noises, slack & slop that make it hard to get a smooth launch, and little power until 3200 rpm (and then ZOOM!). Seats are uncomfortable and headlights are weak (though this is easily corrected w/aftermarket bulbs).
Saturn lacks integrity

I am a single woman who needs a reliable car. I bought a certified '98 from a dealer and now they are telling me it is virtually worthless (they offered me $500). I did all my maintenance at the dealer because I thought I could trust them. And the headquarters in TN won't help. Their customer service is completely lacking. I will NEVER do business with Saturn again. I encourage you to take caution when dealing with this company... especially if you have a sister/mother in a similar vulnerable position. No car should lose all value after 4 years. Saturn truly is NOT "a different kind of company, a different kind of car". I am a very dissatisfied customer.
