Very happy with Saturn - reliable, great milage, low maintenance. Re- lined brakes at 50,000 miles, otherwise only standard maintenance has been required.

Being a college student, I needed an car that would be cheap to buy and own, and the SL delivers on both cases. I love the fact that this car is stipped down to the basics; no power steeering, windows, locks, transmission, ect., which means there's less stuff that needs repairs. Great car for price conscience consumers.

1998 Saturn SL1

My 1998 Saturn SL1 has been a great car! I commute 50 miles one way to work 5 days a week, and my car currently has 215,000 miles on it. It has endured a few trips to Las Vegas and other vacation spots. Over the years we have put less than $1000 in it for repairs (other than brakes, tires, etc.). I love this car and would (and have) recommended Saturn to my friends and family. I'm hoping to get two more years out of this car before I have to buy another, so far so good.

My first car

I love this little car. This was my first car, my parents bought it from some friends with about 25k on it in about '01. I'm up to 101k right now and the only thing I've really had to replace was a cooling fan, brakes once and a few tires. I'm pretty rough on it and have put it through the ringer often forget to check my fluids nearly running out of oil & trans fluid one one occasion but it hasn't given up on me! The interior rattles sometimes but it's a small price to pay for something so reliable.

This baby keeps ticking. I'm at 150,000 miles and going strong. LA traffic is tough but I still get 35 mpg and have only had to take it to the dealership 3 or 4 times in the past 7 years. Back window motor broke about 6 months ago and yes there are rattles here and there but 150,000 miles + 35mpg + reliability are more than worth the $11,000 I paid.
