Wow, when I bought this from a family friend, I was not expecting this. Yeah, it's a cheaply built car, and it has a poor resale value, but look at what you get in return. Excellent MPG, I average about 34mpg right now. The car has no recalls and I havent had any trouble swith it at all. Oh yea, Honda and Toyota look out, I have 192kms on this guy and it's going strong. Great car. I'll buy another Saturn for my next car for sure.

This car rocks! I love to drive it! Easy to steer and drive, even in tight spaces. It is just one of those cars that forms around you, and it seems to require no effort to drive it. It seems to drive itself. It's simply a fantastic car.

I have had no major complaints,with this car.It has been very relaible for me.1>The saftey features are everything that Saturn says they are! 2>The fuel mileage,is very good. With my 98 Saturn,I get 37 mpg on the Interstate,and 25 to 27mpg in the city. 3>This is my 2nd SaturnSL2.My 1st one,I was involved in a head on collision at 60mph,and can say that,the air bags do work very well.I was able to walk away from the car after words.The drivers door open without any problems.I also was able to re start the engine and drive the car off to the side of the Interstate.This is why I bought another SaturnSL2!

Our 98 Saturn SL is our '2nd' car. We bought it with one option, AC. The only thing that I would have done differently is add power stering since it is hard for our teen-age drivers to park, etc. It has been the most reliable car that we have ever owned. It went to the dealer one time for a belt adjustment. We bought this car for riding in back and forth to work and it has been all that it was promised plus the manuel transmission is perfect in the snow.
