Bought the car new in 1999 and have had only the typical maintenance done. Only after all these years is it starting to show some issues. Most of my issues probably are because of the recommended services at 60,000 Miles have yet to be performed while I'm at 72,000 miles. If I were planning on keeping it I'd surely do this. I settled for the extreme basic SL2 model w/o any of the extras. Not even a CD player. I love the car for the daily commute to work and since I have the 5 speed manual transmission it has enough pep when I need it too. I doubt that it would be quite as peppy if it were an auto. trans. Love the car hate what's happening in the auto industry today.
Love my Saturn

I am the original owner of this SL2, which turns 9 years old this week. I cannot say enough how much I love this car. It's a workhorse and is always reliable. I've had the brakes and transmission replaced once. It does use a bit more oil now, but that's normal for a car of its age. Gas mileage remains superb; I often get 40 mpg on the highway and recently got as much as 34 while city driving. Little things have broken over the years (rear window and moonroof motors, the radio power knob broke off and last month, the trip odometer knob broke) but the car itself still purrs along almost like new. Take care of your Saturn and it will take care of you!
Can't complain a bit (knock on wood)

This car has been a joy to own. As long as I've stayed ahead on the maintence, it has never let me down. I can always rely on it to get me where I need to go and not burn much gas in the process!! (about 38 mpg) When it wears out, I'll probably buy another one.
Fine car for 4 buck gas

I purchased this car for my then college kid daughter. I've been driving it for 4 years and love the 38mpg economy. Maintenance costs are average for Vermont with our horrible roads. So far so good with no engine work or transmission costs. As you would expect with a car this small, long trips are a pain in the usual spots. 107k miles and counting.
Fun little car
