Great little commuter car

This is a great little commuter car. It handles very well, has decent power, and doesn't have the rust issue other vehicles have in Minnesota. It's also very comfortable for a small car.

I bought my Saturn used, it is a very reliable car. Haven't had any problems with it yet. On the other hand I can notice the difference between this car and a foreign one, the refinement is just not there. I would not by this car new.

I purchased this car to get me through college in 2001 with only 17,158 miles on it. Fast Forward four years later I have 136k. I replaced it with a VUE Redline. Cheap car to operate, Cheap car to fix, The major repairs came in a shifter cable (135k) and a Clutch 120k (1st Replacement Clutch) The air still blows cold, and it still gets 36mpg on the highway.

I bought my Saturn used...and I love it. It was purchased through a Saturn dealer, which was an advantage, because they could show me ALL of the maintenance records from the previous owners (the records are stored in Saturn's computers and stay with the car through transfer of ownership). I have had NO problems with my car, and would highly recommend to anyone that they purchase one. My husband also owns a Saturn S-Series, and has had no problems with his

Most dependable cars ever made

I just purchased this SW2. It only has 64000 miles, but I anticipate putting many more on it. I have a 1993 Saturn SL1 with almost 240000 miles (original engine and trans). The only things I've replaced are 2 tensioner pulleys, 2 alternators, 1 water pump just recently and front wheel bearings at 190000 miles. I expect to get the same reliability from this car as well considering the only difference mechanically is the twin cam engine (the SL1 is a single cam). You cannot find a better car that gets such good gas mileage at a better price (30- 36mpg regular driving and 44mpg best ever on a road trip on the SL1). If you find one, BUY IT! I only paid $5200 with a 3,000 mi./3 month warranty.
