I bought this Saturn from my aunt last June. Since then I have also purchased a 2002 SC2. I love both cars. This car (the 1998 SL) was my 2nd Saturn, and no complaints! It drives well, is speedy, gets excellent gas mileage, and little- to-no problems. It already has 92,000 miles on it and the few things that have happened are to be expected. However, it has gotten regular service and oil changes, and is great! I just wish it was worth more than what I owe on it.

This baby keeps ticking. I'm at 150,000 miles and going strong. LA traffic is tough but I still get 35 mpg and have only had to take it to the dealership 3 or 4 times in the past 7 years. Back window motor broke about 6 months ago and yes there are rattles here and there but 150,000 miles + 35mpg + reliability are more than worth the $11,000 I paid.

Salespeople were friendly and helpful. No pressure, everyone pays the same price, no haggling. Got in a major accident, no injuries or even cuts or bruises. No internal damage to car and no residual performance problems from accident. Braking is quick and responsive. Never been towed due to break down. Routine maintenance and minor repairs,except a/c died after 5.5 years. Trunk is very roomy. Amazed what can fit in there. Dent resistant exterior great, Cracks if hit hard enough. Great performance despite long freeway commutes, stop and go traffic and being rough on the car.

Best car I have owned

I recommend Saturn to anyone and everyone. The Saturn dealers are great, very helpful. I have not had one problem with my car and have 52K on the clock. My SC2 has been more reliable than my previous Honda. Plus you get much more passenger protection. The seats are stiffer and more comfortable during a long drive than the Honda's. You also get better handling than the Honda, plus better looks too. My next car is going to be a Saturn and I have no complaints at all about my car. When compared to the other cars of similar value and it was an easy choice for me.
