I bought the right car for the wrong reason -- to get traction control. It has proved to be trouble free, reliable, good cargo hauler, good external appearance with little care, very good gas mileage (40 mpg), cruises at 80-85 with no difficulty.
As dependable as expected

I purchased my SW2 planning to haul small loads in the back, and it fit the bill nicely. Very few problems with the car, and those were minor. Overall the TCO has been low, and I plan to get several more years out of it. Maintenance costs have been low too, especially since there's no timing belt to replace and the exhaust is stainless steel.
Reliable and affordable

1999 Saturn S-Series SC1 3dr Coupe
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
Originally purchased for affordable price, gas mileage, reasonable insurance costs associated (especially for a coupe), and reputed low maintenance. All true. Low cost car that lasted 10 years well. Body stills looks stylish and paint looks good. Repairs were genenerally the normal wear and tear, excepting 2 components. 1) the front license plate holder would constantly be knocked off by even the slightest tap of someone parking in a major metropolitan area. I had to have the dealership reattach it 5x before I finally convinced that that the clips were a poor design. 2) the slightest barometric change leads to the engine light going on. Saturn never finds a problem-but inconvenient to me.

I recently Bought my SC2 3 door from a mechanic. The car has 202,000 miles on it runs like a top. It's peppy and comfortable also great on gas. I have 2 Saturns prior to this one. Very cheap to maintain unless the tranny goes..
Great Car

This is our 3rd S series car, and like the first 2, a very reliable ride. The S series is very simple, economical transportation. Routine maintenance is all that has been needed. This car gets around 32 MPG, 36 on the highway. We bought this one with 70k miles. It now has 200K miles. 2 sets of tires,drive belt, and and cleaned the EGR valve once. Thats it. You will get bored with it before you wear it out!
