Most dependable cars ever made

I just purchased this SW2. It only has 64000 miles, but I anticipate putting many more on it. I have a 1993 Saturn SL1 with almost 240000 miles (original engine and trans). The only things I've replaced are 2 tensioner pulleys, 2 alternators, 1 water pump just recently and front wheel bearings at 190000 miles. I expect to get the same reliability from this car as well considering the only difference mechanically is the twin cam engine (the SL1 is a single cam). You cannot find a better car that gets such good gas mileage at a better price (30- 36mpg regular driving and 44mpg best ever on a road trip on the SL1). If you find one, BUY IT! I only paid $5200 with a 3,000 mi./3 month warranty.

The car is great, the dealer is not!

We purchased our Saturn and when we went to pick it up, the underbody package and scotch-guarding we paid for was not done and the dealer was set to let us drive it off the lot without doing the work. All I will say is..POOR SERVICE! - low fuel light does not work and our Saturn dealer said they fixed it but did not and a few other minor electrical issues. Solid Car - Thank heaven for dent- proof side panels. Saved lots of cash. Rear bumper construction solid as well. Backing into a cement barrier, crushed in the corner of the bumper...temporarily. Over a period of 5 minutes, it slowly reformed into it's normal position, leaving only a scuff.

Great Wagon

I had the car custom built, the only options are traction and cruise, no AC, cost $14K. As an itinerant contractor, we've used it to move 12 times in 9 years, always loaded with 500+ lbs. It only failed once, due to a crank rotation sensor. I had to clean or replace fuel injectors a few times, and it burns a little oil. It still has the original brakes and clutch. Very good fit and finish, no rattles.

Finding a used SW2 is not easy; but when you DO get one, you'll probably never sell it. It's easy to drive, maintain, and pay for! Plus, it doesn't look too bad, either, for a wagon!

I have enjoyed this car immensely. I have had no major difficulties in over 3 and one half years of use. Saturns are one of the best American cars on the road, and are improving every year. Can anything good come out of Tennessee? Of course!
