My 98 Saturn

The Saturn that I own has been a pleasure to own and drive.The car handles well and I have been very impressed with its performance in icy and snowy weather. The SL1 own has a 5 speed which gives the car better performance than the automatic. I used to own a 1996 SC2 automatic. The car has been very reliabile. My only complaint is the road noise ather than that I have no complaints.

This is car has been a dream. Its easy on the gas but also packs power. I have had no problems with the car whatso ever. The interior is a little noise but it is a small price to pay for the reliability and overall performance of the car on highways as well as city roads. I will definitely recommend this car to all my friends.

We have found the Saturn to be a reliable, economical car. We have had no major problems with this car. Our car is a standard shift and has been very difficult to get the car into first gear. However, dealer could never find anything wrong. Just before the warranty expired, the battery wouldn't hold a charge. It was replaced by the dealer. We have especially been pleased with the deale

Fun to drive!...fastest 0-60 in its class, light weight & tidy size, firm ride, crisp handling, nice shifter/clutch. Reliable...0 mechanical problems in 88,000 miles, dentless body panels. Economical...25- 38 mpg. Easy to live with...xlnt A/C, tons of headroom, surprising cargo capacity. Safe...stiff structure, good crash ratings. BUT: drivetrain is crude, with loud unpleasant noises, slack & slop that make it hard to get a smooth launch, and little power until 3200 rpm (and then ZOOM!). Seats are uncomfortable and headlights are weak (though this is easily corrected w/aftermarket bulbs).
