Proven to Be a Road Trip Winner
Took a 3600 mile trip out west - didn't miss a beat - 37+ mpg. Had to use 2nd gear in Utah & NMexico at times. That's to be expected. I had dark tint put on windows - don't want to get sunburn in slow rush hour. Soundproofing of gas tank bad - thumps like water in jug. Sounds only for seconds when engine shut off and below 3/4 tank full. Low front end - park up to curbs w/care.
love it but needs more power
The saturn coupe has exciting design. Although many dislike the interior, I love its simplicity and simple design. But the SC1 definately needs more power, but the ride is quite and comfortable.
Been good so far
Bought it brand new in 2000. Had a few problems. Leaking Intake Manifold, causes coolant to leak out. The dealer fixed this free of charge even though it was out of warranty. Only repair I had to pay for was Exhaust repair ($300 or so). Have an intermitant clutch chatter (5 speed). Mechanic says its not serious enough to repair

2000 SW2 Wagon
Car is very fuel effecient, cheap to maintain (unless you get a bad one... can happen in any make of car), relatively cheap to insure, and is pretty safe for it's price, even without side airbags (they weren't an option in 2000). Only issue I've had is the infamous intake gasket issue (I smell a TSB or secret recall/warranty brewing) due to a faulty design of this gasket. Great service at my facility (Saturn of Westbrook, Maine), and the sales process was a breeze with no smarmy salesperson. Seating is not confortable at all for longer drives, so don't buy it as your primary highway cruiser.
