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

I bought a Saturn instead of another Nissan, a decision I regret. My Saturn has had the power windows repaired three times, the cruise control module replaced, and I new motor installed. All these problem occurring with less than 50,000 miles on the motor.

I have had no major complaints,with this car.It has been very relaible for me.1>The saftey features are everything that Saturn says they are! 2>The fuel mileage,is very good. With my 98 Saturn,I get 37 mpg on the Interstate,and 25 to 27mpg in the city. 3>This is my 2nd SaturnSL2.My 1st one,I was involved in a head on collision at 60mph,and can say that,the air bags do work very well.I was able to walk away from the car after words.The drivers door open without any problems.I also was able to re start the engine and drive the car off to the side of the Interstate.This is why I bought another SaturnSL2!

I had a 1992 SL1 that was a very good car and included roadside service and free oil changes for the vehicle. The car was stolen in 1997. I purchased a 98 SL2 to replace it. After the warranty 36,000 or 3 years, maintenance ran very high.

Saturn lacks integrity

I am a single woman who needs a reliable car. I bought a certified '98 from a dealer and now they are telling me it is virtually worthless (they offered me $500). I did all my maintenance at the dealer because I thought I could trust them. And the headquarters in TN won't help. Their customer service is completely lacking. I will NEVER do business with Saturn again. I encourage you to take caution when dealing with this company... especially if you have a sister/mother in a similar vulnerable position. No car should lose all value after 4 years. Saturn truly is NOT "a different kind of company, a different kind of car". I am a very dissatisfied customer.
