What A great car. What's not to like? This is my second Saturn my first being a 1991 SL2 and have they made a lot of improvements. First the engine noise is down to what it should be for a car like this. Also the road noise is down too. The materials in the car are a lot better quality although I never had a problem or never disliked the first cars interior. Bottom line is I've read a few reviews from people who review cars for a living and some put this car down. I guess it's hard to go from test driving a Porsche 911 to a Saturn. Both Saturns have been cheaper to own than any other car my family has owned. Fun,Cheap to own, and reliable if you take care of it like any car. Take Care!
Great first car!

I'm 18 years old and this is my first car, and I honestly can't complain. It passed through my mom and my older sister (who ran it into the back of a hummer and over a curb in her years with it) and at 130,000 miles it still runs great with no major problems, despite what it's been through. Plastic bumpers and dent-resistant sides are great for the teen driver -- I was even hit head on and there's no more than a scratch on the bumper. The only complaint that I have is that the sound system is old and wrecked, but that's probably due to misuse and over- use rather than a fault with the car. Overall, it's great.

Bought this car brand new and am still with it. Overall it was a smart purchase as a high school student. Lately though, things have been going wrong. At 90K, 2 of the window motors have broken, and the sunroof is unusable. Parking brake also did not pass inspection. The largest problem I have had is that the engine mounts have broken TWICE!! Do love the dent resistant panels though!! I call it the Tupperware car! You can dent it, but it's easily popped out with little cosmetic damage. Have had some bouts with the service department though. You gotta watch em... but I suppose that's true with most places. Overall, not too bad a choice.
Was really dependable, but ...

I can't really complain, the car was very dependable for a long time. I have 136,000 miles on it now. It started having problems a two years ago. Water pump went first, then alternator, and then transmission leaks. I have always had a slow oil leak. Now the temperature gauge is on the fritz. I am thinking of just taking it to the dump and having it put down lol. The ceiling material is falling down, I have thumb tacks holding it up. This happened to my brothers old Saturn also. Plus the car is starting to smell. It's like a old dog I suppose.
Not a bad backup car

70k miles no it. Been dependable. Minor electrical problems (mirrors,2 hours of labor, back window, 2 hours of labor) IAC sensor(75$, 1 hour of labor) went out and was difficult to put back in. Car takes a while to get up to 75 mph and is hard to handle wen it gets there. Great car for the $ and would recomend to anyone
