This is by far the most reliable car I have ever owned! I love driving it. I would recommend it to anyone.
I always get asked, "is that a lexus?"

So you might be thinking about getting a saturn. I would have to agree with you that this is a great decision. Everyday that I get into my car I smile because I know that I'm going to have a great driving experience. Everything has been thought out for this car. I think that I have the best color for this car, pearl white. The salesman said that the car came in that color for a short time only, making it unique. I have all the power options, sunroof, cruise control, and no destination is okay because the drive there in my SC2 is all part of the fun.
Reliable for a U.S. made car

Very reliable (not as much as my Toyotas,but good). Brakes are a weak point. Too small rotors warp. Seat belt system is deplorable.Belts have been dealer repaired 4 times and still lock in and won't release,squeezing occupant in seat. Plastic body a plus. Original tires and exhaust at 50,000 miles. Engine noise loader than most due to timing gears (no belt to break though).Dealers have been good and inexpensive. I'll drive it till it dies!

Purchased the car in 6/98 with 26000m on odometer. Excellent fuel milage in beginning - 5 sp trans. Got 35+ on highway and better that 28 around town. YOU MUST keep after the oil. Mine seems to burn about 2 qts every 1500- 2000 miles - checking it is very important. Relaced original tires with 195/60 15 Dunlop SP 2000 - OUTSTANDING and what difference in cornering. Now, at 135K miles, it hesitates on accelerating from a light - any loading at all and the car will buck and chug. I'm guessing the computer modules or the fule injection system - when i get some money I'll be getting it fixed.
So long Saturn

I owned this car for 4 years before it was totaled in a car accident a few weeks ago. This car was a really great value. Only replaced the water pump and the head gasket. Both I did myself and I am an amateur. Parts were cheap and was easy to work on. Gas mileage was great, too. Everyone who drove it commented on how great the engine was. It looks sporty, too. The car held up very well in the accident. I am going to miss this car.
