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

I bought her used and in great shape. I've had her for 5 years now, and I have never had any mechanical or stalling problems. She needs a tune up (high idle) and would run better if I took her in for one. However, she's lived through two low speed collisions with no body damage, just the hood and plastic bumpers. Brakes seem to be the most frequent maintnance item and are not as responsive as I'd like them to be. Great economy car, not the smoothest ride and you can hear outside noise/engine noise inside the car. I bought this when I graduated from college and she has served me well. Going to start a family soon and will need something with 4 doors, otherwise, I'd keep her till she dies!

I have owned over 10 cars (Celicas, Corollas, Camero, Firebird) and have driven many (Honda Civic, Prelude, Volks., etc.), this is the Best over all car I have owned or driven: based on performance, reliability and fuel economy.
Second Saturn and love it!

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!
Perfect first car

I am thrilled with my Saturn. After looking into buying a Honda, I found that the Saturn I bought had more features, such as a CD player, power everything, an alarm, and a keyless entry, but was less than a Honda with none of those features. It drives great. It has a light feel, but feels stable. My only complaint about the steering is the limited turn axis, but it has a nice ergonomical grip. Under the hood, the layout of the engine is practical and the basics are easy to maintain. It has a nice little hum. I plan on buying from the Saturn company and Carmax many more times. I couldn't be happier with my car. :D
