Don't buy it if you want to drive like Mario Andretti, but its prob the safest and least expensive car to maintain that you can possibly buy. For a car with only 100hp, it is surprisingly peppy, but definetaly not fast.

I bought this car used in 2000 and drove it a lot for about 3 1/2 years until I wrecked it. The car was totalled, but nobody was hurt, it is a very safe car. If you're looking for a fun, sporty car that you can try to beat people off of the line with, this car is absolutely not for you. If you don't care about that, and want to experience the most performance that a 100 hp car can possibly offer, as well as have very cheap gas and maintenance costs, you'll love this. It only comes in stick, which is nice, and the dent resistant panels prevent a lot of damage; when they do break, they're a lot cheaper to fix than anything with metal.
Saturn lacks integrity

I am a single woman who needs a reliable car. I bought a certified '98 from a dealer and now they are telling me it is virtually worthless (they offered me $500). I did all my maintenance at the dealer because I thought I could trust them. And the headquarters in TN won't help. Their customer service is completely lacking. I will NEVER do business with Saturn again. I encourage you to take caution when dealing with this company... especially if you have a sister/mother in a similar vulnerable position. No car should lose all value after 4 years. Saturn truly is NOT "a different kind of company, a different kind of car". I am a very dissatisfied customer.

This is my first car, and I am quite pleased with it. It is a sporty car that I got for a great price. I have had the car for almost 5 months and haven't had any problems. Gas mileage is great for long drives/highway, but isn't too good in city traffic. The car is noisy and not really comfortable, but it is very reliable.

I bought a Saturn instead of another Nissan, a decision I regret. My Saturn has had the power windows repaired three times, the cruise control module replaced, and I new motor installed. All these problem occurring with less than 50,000 miles on the motor.
