This car has very good reliability. I bought it used from Saturn, and I'm very happy with it. It's great for putting big things in the back. Its very rare to find one that has low mileage and is close to your area. The car is great in reliability and has great build quality. I would definitely recommend the SW2 to anybody. Overall I am very pleased with it.
Good low cost transportation

I bought this car used with 89k miles, now has 135k. It has performed well. Looks sporty. Seats not designed for the long haul. I'm 6 feet tall and fit well into car, but only with steering wheel tilted up getting/out. Engine burns 2 qt's oil between changes, but no smoke(?). Differential blew apart at 110k, taking tranny with it. Had junkyard tranny installed. Still runs good. Lots of rattles and creaks, particularly in cold weather. Love the ABS, traction control, stereo, sporty feel. Except for tranny, opertaing costs low. Insurance low for teenage daughter. Great student car. She even likes the manual trans. Not many of her friends can drave a standard.
Perfect car for parking lots

Overall the SW2 is a good car, just not a great one. The plastic body panels means it survives parking lots without dings. It's insurance rates are low, and it greats good fuel economy, yet performance is good. It's reliable and seems rugged, but it excites no one. The best description I have ever heard for Saturns is that they are perfect cars for people who don't care about cars. The choice of plastics in the interior results in a low-priced look and feel with buzzes, rattles.
GOOD FOR SHORT TERM ONLY

NO PROBLEMS FOR FIRST FOUR YEARS, BUT THEN STARTED FALLING APART: ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS, OXYGEN SENSOR, IDLE PULLEY, AND WATER PUMP(AT ONLY 31,500k). SEATS HAVE GOTTEN LOW AND UNSUPPORTIVE. ALSO TOLD I NEED A NEW IGNITION MODULE, BUT I HAVE SO FAR PASSED ON THIS EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT. CAPABLE, EFFICIENT ENGINE, GOOD BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL, BUT I DON'T THINK I WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THIS CAR FOR NINE YEARS LIKE MY PREVIOUS TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH NEVER HAD ANY OF THE ABOVE PROBLEMS. I THOUGHT SATURN WAS DIFFERENT, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE THE STANDARD AMERICAN MONEY-PIT!
Could be worse

Rather basic transportation, but very reliable. About as exciting as white rice but it will get you there and back every time.
