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!
My safe & sweet reliable ride

Purchased car new & maintained it. Has paid me back via reliability in ALL weather. Now that I'm a mom, I love the child safety features. When I was a grad student, loved the roominess of fold down back seats. Don't understand neg reviews...dealers aren't as warm and "fuzzy" as they were, but car is still great.
Great first car!

I'm 18 years old and this is my first car, and I honestly can't complain. It passed through my mom and my older sister (who ran it into the back of a hummer and over a curb in her years with it) and at 130,000 miles it still runs great with no major problems, despite what it's been through. Plastic bumpers and dent-resistant sides are great for the teen driver -- I was even hit head on and there's no more than a scratch on the bumper. The only complaint that I have is that the sound system is old and wrecked, but that's probably due to misuse and over- use rather than a fault with the car. Overall, it's great.
My wife loves it - I hate it

This is our second Saturn, and I liked the first one better. This one is an automatic and much more of a dog. The A/C is very week and has to run near high all of the time in the summer. The car also has a lot of vibration at idle. The car also has a lot of annoying rattles (mostly interior panels). However, because the passenger compartment is so loud you can't hear them over the deafening engine noise. However, to its credit, the car has been reliable. I guess that's all you can reasonably expect out of a cheap car.
Good car for a good price!

I have had nothing wrong with this car since I bought it used in 2000. It gets great gas milage and is a comfortable ride. I am always getting compliments on it and every time I take it to the dealer for an oil change the wash my car and leave a carnation on my dashboard. I've never had that happen before! However, I had a Toyota Celica before I got my Saturn and Toyota's & Saturn's do not drive a like. It took me a while to get used to driving the Saturn, it doesn't drive as smoothly as a Toyota does.
