This car has been a nightmare almost from the beginning. I regret ever buying it. I was moving from Phila to CO, so I shopped for room, comfort and most of all fuel efficiency. This car is very comfortable on short stints, but since the driver's seat can't sit up straight it is VERY uncomfortable for long excursions. I should know I've driven this car across the entire country. I've never been able to get decent mileage [low 20's] and the dealerships refuse to see that as a problem. I also had transmission issues, which required that the trans be rebuilt and it took me over a year and a lawyer to have that taken care of.
best yet!

I have enjoyed this car immensely. I have had no major difficulties in over 3 and one half years of use. Saturns are one of the best American cars on the road, and are improving every year. Can anything good come out of Tennessee? Of course!

My 9 month old son and I were in an accident that totaled my Saturn. We were hit in the passenger side by a much bigger and heavier car. My son and I were fine, we walked away and I even had very little soreness in the days following. Several emergency personell at the scene told me how lucky we were that we were in a Saturn. Saturn, I am a believer!! There is much to be said for those crumple zones. All this AND I never had any mechanical or electrical problems with this car or the 95 that I owned before. Fantastic cars!
Rock solid performer against the imports

This is my second SL2. The '99 model has given me no significant griefs. 118k and same brakes (30% left), very good gas mileage, continues to handle solidly, smooth on the highway, slick stick shift, no leaks, and enough interior space for practical use. Great alternative to comparable imports. Saturn service & attitude is excellent. Paint quality is as day one.

Rather basic transportation, but very reliable. About as exciting as white rice but it will get you there and back every time.
