We bought our Saturn new in 1999 and have driven almost 95000 miles. It's been pretty reliable with regular maintenance. Started using some extra oil at about 75,000 miles, but nothing major. All in all, it's a good, reliable, inexpensive, family car. A used Saturn is an excellent first vehicle for a new driver.
Safe car! Great for teens!

We bought this car for our 16 year old daughter and boy are we gald we did. She was rear ended on the freeway with her 15 year old cousin in the car with her. Her car was totalled and both of them escaped with out even so much as a scratch. She was only slightly sore, but showed no signs of whip lash. The cars appears to have taken most of the impact. We will definitely be replacing her car with another Saturn
Where did they hide the dependability?

bought new, the car was fine for 3 yrs / 50,000 miles - at that point it started to fall apart! The quality is TERRIBLE and the dealer was NO help.
SC2 3Door - good for <18K

The SC2 was my second Saturn and although it's a good, reliable car, I did have more "problems" of an annoying, minor sort, with the SC2 than I did with my original SL, which gave me no problems. That said, the SC2 is a fun car to drive - for a smaller vehicle, it has a lot of pick-up (manual transmission) - doing a lot of highway driving, that was a big plus. 10 CD changer in the trunk was a smart investment as well!
