I created an account just for the purpose to compliment this vehicle. It's my wifes car, we've had it for about 5 years and 80,000 miles. It's at 166,000 right now and it still runs, drives, and looks great. I'm 6'3" 200lbs so I'm not a fan of smaller cars, but really this isn't too bad. Plain and simple, it is without a doubt the most affordable, most reliable, trouble free car I have EVER owned, been around or known of - Period. I'm my own mechanic, I know cars and I know things like brakes, tires, and mufflers wear out. That's about all we've had to replace on this car - And the best part is all the parts are super cheap! Average of 30 MPG with a driving ratio of 70 hwy/ 30 city
Second Saturn and love it!

What A great car. What's not to like? This is my second Saturn my first being a 1991 SL2 and have they made a lot of improvements. First the engine noise is down to what it should be for a car like this. Also the road noise is down too. The materials in the car are a lot better quality although I never had a problem or never disliked the first cars interior. Bottom line is I've read a few reviews from people who review cars for a living and some put this car down. I guess it's hard to go from test driving a Porsche 911 to a Saturn. Both Saturns have been cheaper to own than any other car my family has owned. Fun,Cheap to own, and reliable if you take care of it like any car. Take Care!
She's been good to me

I bought her used and in great shape. I've had her for 5 years now, and I have never had any mechanical or stalling problems. She needs a tune up (high idle) and would run better if I took her in for one. However, she's lived through two low speed collisions with no body damage, just the hood and plastic bumpers. Brakes seem to be the most frequent maintnance item and are not as responsive as I'd like them to be. Great economy car, not the smoothest ride and you can hear outside noise/engine noise inside the car. I bought this when I graduated from college and she has served me well. Going to start a family soon and will need something with 4 doors, otherwise, I'd keep her till she dies!

Bought brand new in 98 by my ex-wife and I've been driving it since 2002. Although it has a nice look to it and gets fairly decent gas mileage it is very cheaply made. Everything on this car seems to be made of plastic. The sunroof doesn't work, motor's been replaced twice, finally gave up on it. The shift linkage broke and is held together by plastic twist ties. The engine loses about a quart of oil every 3000 miles, no clue where it's going. The valve cover just started leaking. The paint is peeling on the spoiler, around the windows and the roof. With only 85000 miles and having been maintained properly as well, I won't get another Saturn again, not if their all like this.
