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.
Great Car!

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.
The only thing I can really rely on!

This car has been amazing to own. My first new car purchased on my own. It's survived cross country moves, numerous road trips and never let me down. From my crazy college life to my current responsible Mom life the Saturn fits. People get hooked the first time they run to the store for me or just move it out of the driveway. Its fun, sporty, just the right size inside and out. One of my better decisions made in my 20's!
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.
Never a problem

The car has 339,000 kms(Canada) on it now, and other than two front rotors and several front brake pads, all this car has cost me is a $170 in exhaust work recently for a new muffler. I bought it used in 2001 with 97,000 on the odometer, but it was towed behind a motorhome so I have no idea what the real mileage is. I am not easy on this car. You can't be easy on it merging on an onramp with a mere 100hp to get you up to speed. Redline shifts all the time. This is my second one. I put 475,000 on my 1993 Saturn. I am looking for another now cause I am getting wheel bearing noise and the A/C finally failed. Second gear rubber still with the 5speed manual. Have to push hard sometimes to get it in 1st gear
