I have had this car since 48000 miles. It currently has 126000. I've had this car since I was 16. I was kind of hard on it in high school but it still runs like new. It burns a little oil but besides that it runs like a new car, starts right up, and goes on long trips. Plus almost 40MPG is a great success!

I purchased this car a long time ago and I was suprised honestly to see all the bad reviews on this forum about Saturns. My 98 Saturn SC2 has 150K miles on it (its a 10 year old car now). I had an issue with the linkage a while back as most people have talked about, but the original linkage lasted until a year or so ago. The car has issues with overheating in stop go traffic now. The paint has faided over time and on both doors the paint is chipping off slowly around the top of the door. The cuise ctrl no longer works (too much $ to fix). I burn about 1 quart between changes of oil (I do this every 3K miles). For a 10 year old car, it still looks darn good and runs good...considering its age

My 98 Saturn

The Saturn that I own has been a pleasure to own and drive.The car handles well and I have been very impressed with its performance in icy and snowy weather. The SL1 own has a 5 speed which gives the car better performance than the automatic. I used to own a 1996 SC2 automatic. The car has been very reliabile. My only complaint is the road noise ather than that I have no complaints.

This is car has been a dream. Its easy on the gas but also packs power. I have had no problems with the car whatso ever. The interior is a little noise but it is a small price to pay for the reliability and overall performance of the car on highways as well as city roads. I will definitely recommend this car to all my friends.
