Bought this car as a holdover in Dec. of 1999. Had a $1000 or $1500 rebate. I think the total price was around $17,500. Got all the "upgrades" (leather, stereo, keyless, power package, etc.) Overall it's a good car, haven't had any real problems. One thing that has been an ongoing "nag" ... for about the last year it has had a minor hiccup when running, not really a miss, just not as smooth. The dealer has run several diagnostics but has found nothing wrong. It's due for a tuneup, and could be that simple (maybe). Only other knock about the car is the interior materials ... very cheap, lots of plastic. But then, what do you expect for under $18,000. Overall, great car for a teenager.
A Tough Little Car

I custom ordered my Saturn in May, 1999. This little car has seen some tough times. I've wrecked it twice & it still is around for more! I get 34 mpg (my husband gets 37 mpg since he drives like grandpa jones) & the 5- speed manual is very fun. I love all of the features, traction control, cruise, fog lights. Everyone thinks my car is newer than it is! It's showing signs of age, though, it creaks & rattles like most old folks & the sunroof brackets have worn out. But other than normal wear & tear and routine maintenance, I've only had to replace the oxygen sensor since I've owned it. Definitely got my money's worth!

This car has been nothing but problems. We have had to replace the air conditioning, motor mount, and engine belt. The sunroof will not work and the driver door hinge broke so it always slams into you while you are trying to get out of the car. Somehow, the oil magically disappears and the engine burns oil even after cleaning the system. The exhaust needs to be replaced and now the radio dial just happened to fall off. The power window fell off the track and I have so many more complaints! This car is the biggest headache cheap. I will never buy a Saturn again.

The SC2 was my second Saturn and although it's a good, reliable car, I did have more "problems" of an annoying, minor sort, with the SC2 than I did with my original SL, which gave me no problems. That said, the SC2 is a fun car to drive - for a smaller vehicle, it has a lot of pick-up (manual transmission) - doing a lot of highway driving, that was a big plus. 10 CD changer in the trunk was a smart investment as well!
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.
