I love my Saturns, i've owned three since 1995. i had a 94 sc1 Red sports model. Man, never got stuck in the snow i had the button for all wheel drive and i loved being able go in and out of traffic without a worried it had pick-up power. Then i had a 94 sedan great car, but a drunk driver decided to come at me and my daughter(driving) head on, we're talking about a 1984 Ford LTD, and me and my daughter are to talk about it. the airbag went off the seat belts held us tight. now i still have my 1999 Saturn from off the showroom floor from the Saturn dealership we use to have here in Oak Lawn, IL ..I'm just now putting money into her,, and i still feel safe. Too bad Saturn went out of business, i'd be getting one for my granddaughter, and no she is not getting mine :-) i'm gonna ride my car to the end

A Good Value For the Money

I bought my 1999 Saturn SC2 (3 door) new in January 1999. I have owned it almost 6 years now but have only put 35000 miles on it. Overall, I am quite satisfied with it. I have only had two mechanical problems with it in 6 years (I had to replace the air conditioning compressor and oxygen sensor). Otherwise, it has been very reliable. The third door has been very handy, and it has good acceleration for a small engine. On the downside, the cabin can be noisy at high speeds. And the dashboard and door panels rattle and creak in below zero temperatures. But, overall, I have no regrets about buying this car.

I just recently bought this car from a small used car dealership here in my area with a few minor mechanical issues. It had 12000 miles on it and only repair I've had to have had done was a new transmission. Ever since then this car has been there for me at any time! Mileage is great and the third door is great for getting my infants seat in and out without much difficulty at all. Repairs are affordable for the vehicle too! Only problem I can really find with this car is the shape of the backseats. They aren't the most comfortable.

My Milage Did Vary

I purchased my Saturn used, with 52k miles, for $4k. Given the price of the car, I didn't demand much from it. I could forgive the uncomfortable seats, the anemic engine, the spartan interior; all I wanted was good gas milage and reliability. I was partially satisfied. A wiring problem killed the headlights at 85k. At 90k, the rear wiper stopped working. The car began burning oil in this time period as well - I was a lot less impressed with the fuel economy when I was routinely adding other fluids to the car. 100k, and the engine mounts loosened, adding more to an already-obnoxious rattling while driving. At 115k, the transmission went kaput. I had expected to drive the car further.
