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.
The Car was the Best But I miss It

My 98 SC2 was my first car ever. It was black with everything I mean power everything with a spoiler. It ran perfect. But it all ended in 2007 when a truck hit me. The Saturn saved my life. That's why I brought a Saturn because they are very safe cars. Yes I will buy again.

My wife has tried to drive this car into the ground (30,000 miles per year), but it keeps on ticking. We love this car. It's one of the best purchases we've ever made.
Not bad, but a lot of little problems

This is my second Saturn. The first was a station wagon. I thought the constant rattling was a flaw in the wagon, but this one rattles constantly too. I've had the same problems others have had. The door seals have been loose since I bought it. All of the overhead handles have come off (and they weren't used). It burns through oil really quickly. I have to add a quart a month between oil changes. I see there are people who have gotten 35+ mpg. I have only ever gotten 24 mpg. Now the ignition isn't working. The key won't turn on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd try. It can take up to 5 minutes of trying to start the car. I haven't had major problems, but I'm very disappointed with it.
Don't buy

Some problems I had with mine: *burned 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles *changed both set of brakes after only ~35000 miles *vibration problems *back seat would not lock in (dealership didn't know how to fix) *would stall for no reason (had this checked out too--dealership found nothing wrong)
