Good car
I live in New York City and I drove this car to Florida 4 times. I had no problems at all. The only complain I have is that it burns oil between oil changes(about 1/2 quart). Saturn told me this is normal because the car has a metal timing belt, instead of a rubber one.I don't know if this is true, but it annoys me.Besides that, it runs perfectly.I trust this car with my life.I NEVER, NEVER had any major problem with it, and it has 60000 miles already.If you want reliability and affordability, this is the car for you.
Love my Saturn
Use for business travel and pleasure. This has been a very reliable auto, Bucket seats are a bit low for my taste but comfortable once you get into them. Large cargo area with back seats down flat. In 5 years 2 repairs in the $200 range.
boring but it works
Reliable commuter car. Not great for families or long trips.
GOOD FOR SHORT TERM ONLY
NO PROBLEMS FOR FIRST FOUR YEARS, BUT THEN STARTED FALLING APART: ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS, OXYGEN SENSOR, IDLE PULLEY, AND WATER PUMP(AT ONLY 31,500k). SEATS HAVE GOTTEN LOW AND UNSUPPORTIVE. ALSO TOLD I NEED A NEW IGNITION MODULE, BUT I HAVE SO FAR PASSED ON THIS EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT. CAPABLE, EFFICIENT ENGINE, GOOD BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL, BUT I DON'T THINK I WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THIS CAR FOR NINE YEARS LIKE MY PREVIOUS TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH NEVER HAD ANY OF THE ABOVE PROBLEMS. I THOUGHT SATURN WAS DIFFERENT, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE THE STANDARD AMERICAN MONEY-PIT!
Fun little car
Fun little car. Great gas mileage. Very reliable. Easy to maintain. Good car for a younger drive.
