1998 SL-2 = Awesome

I love my car! I have owned many cars, but this was my first car I ever bought new from a dealer; Sep. 1998. I have 289,237 miles on it now; still averages 40 mpg, and the only repairs ever needed were fuel pump and a timing sensor. I'm very rough on it but always keep up with the routine maintenance, and not even our New Jersey winters have stopped it yet. The dashboard & radio have a few interior lights out, but that's minor price to pay for something so reliable. I love this car; would (& have) recommended Saturn to my friends and family. This was the smartest purchase I ever made over my years. For my viewpoints of economical, reliable, and service, I am totally satisfied

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.

I bought this car when I was 5 months pregnant and needed reliable, safe transportation. Thiscar was more than I expected. The pick up is great, the gas milage is superior and the body style has sport and class combined! A/c is very cold, heat is very hot! Windows are tight. The stereo and CD are impressive for factory installed...just put in better speakers, they can't handle this system. 5 years old and still not looking for new car yet! This one has lots of life left in it!

This was my first car out of college and the main reason I got it was it's price. It has been so good to me but it just isn't a nice looking car. It is so fun to drive though because it handles very well and once you can get it to speed up it does a good job. I have had a few problems with the brakes squeeking at times but other than that it has done well at every inspection. I am going to get rid of it but only for a more "proffesional" look.

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
