I think I got a lemon
I had to put $3,300 worth of work into this car and it was a 4 year lease!!!! None of these problems were my fault. I will never buy another Saturn again.
What a Killer car!
This is my 3rd Saturn. I would never drive any other car. I have thrown nearly 35k in one year, no problems yet and hope not to. I started using Z Max in this car to improve the mileage. I pull 46MPG on this car on the highway. Great Bargain there!
Saturn SC2 = No Worries, Mate.
While I have always been leery of American cars in general, specifically their lack of quality construction, this Saturn SC2 has proven to be a terrific car. Great exterior styling, fun to drive, stingy on gas, and incredibly safe (just in case). The dealership has been incredible both at purchase and with continuing maintenance. We purchased it just coming off a 24 month lease in 2001 and are very pleased thus far. Anti-lock brakes and traction control make it great to drive in winter.
a heck of a commuter
I do have to say that i love this car. i've had the car for only a couple of months, but i've already put about 4000 miles on it and its doing great. the car is at 124000 miles and theres yet to be anything wrong other than scheduled maintanence. However it does get sortof uncomfortable to sit in after 4-6 hours of constant driving. So i suggest you give your back a rest on long drives in this baby, cause it'll be a while before you need to fill up. With 3 passengers it gets pretty weighted down but still holds decent. and somtimes the acceleration kicks in all at once (i hate that!). but other than that, a great car, and a steal of a deal.
Overall a decent car.
Not great, not bad. You're definatly not going to be turning any heads. But if you need a car that won't cost much all together (gas, insurance, maintanence), this should be an ok car for you. I've had my car for about 2 years now and I haven't been disappointed. I've had some mechanical problems (reverse lamp switch, headliner and the A/C switch) but nothing major. Would make a great work car, just don't expect anything too fancy.
