Used 1998 Saturn S-Series Sedan Consumer Reviews
Gas Saving Fun Mobile!!!
I bought this little car used with 120,000 miles on it. It runs great. A nice 5 speed. I like the independent suspension in the saturn (no solid axels). Handels great. Can put in new suspension for a great ride. Inside is a little crampt but thats because I'm a little fat. A very fun and economical little car. The interior build is a little chinsey, but thats because Saturn needs to save money to compete with the Asian market and the Asian market does not have to employ union workers(costs much more). Buy American and keep our jobs in America. Yahoo. This car is also great to hit into shopping carts at the store. It has dent resistant body pannels.
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

This car will not die
I love this little car. I was rear ended three times and nothing ever goes wrong with this car. It is now over 10 years old and still runs great. The only maintenence I ever need to do on it is the uaual oil change and I had to replace the battery due to my own neglagence.
I'm keeping it
Ordered it from the factory, had BMW and was tired of mechanical problems. Saturn has been truly reliable with 93k. Fast, fast car between 30mph and 115. I live in Southern CA and people drive that fast. Handling is outstanding, I've worked a turbo Porsche and Ferraris in corners of Topanga Cyn. Love the safety and low insurance costs, especially out here. I got my mom a 2000 Saturn Sl2; my dad is now in a Vue, but his Lexus-owning wife took it from him. There is no better small car and the dealership experience is the best.
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
