Used 1999 Saturn S-Series Coupe Consumer Reviews
Stay Away from SC1's! ! !
I bought my car around Feb. '01 because it was sporty looking. I wanted to get rid of it by that summer. Good gas mileage, terrible get up & go, uncomfortable, and depressing resale value for the options on it. Around 55,000 miles I had to have $1300 worth of work done to it (none of with was my fault). I will never ever buy another Saturn in my life.
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.
For the money, nothing better
I needed a car that was wasn't going to cost me an arm and a leg and could be equipped the way I wanted it and not have some package I didn't need. This car is a dream! It never costs a lot of money to fill the tank, gets great milage, and maintenance is so easy (no timing belt to change!).
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.
Decent
I really like this car. It is my newest car to date, and while I don't enjoy it as much as my previous cars, it gets 40 mpg on the highway, and about 25 around town.
