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

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.

I love this car. The paint always looks good and I don't have a dent. I have pushed this car to it's limits and it has never let me down.
