I purchased my Saturn SL2 in 2000 and have had relatively maintenance-free experiences since. Problems I've encountered: 1) the sunroof motor went bad and had to replace entire sunroof; 2) electric window switch was replaced. Other than that, it's still running pretty great!

Got the car in Spring of 04 to drive me out from Ohio to California. It did the job. Although, the idol has ALWAYS given me problems. Idol increases when car is not moving. It broke down in 05 and the fuel injectors needed replaced. New battery in 07. In 09 it started running bad. It does not accelerate as good as did before, and the engine is rough. Driver and passenger side windows are slow moving and sometimes to even go down or up. Sadly, I will have to replace it. I thought it would last longer, but still not bad. I would not buy another Saturn.

SL2 Dark Red-Fun Car

I bought my SL2 for the fuel mileage. Little did I know that it would be a fun car to drive. The engine really comes to life at 4000 rpm and above. It is definitely not a luxury vehicle though. The road noise is a little louder than I would like and the rear suspension won't accomodate 4 adults. It tends to bottom-out easily with the extra weight.

I have owned two Saturn SL series vehicles. The current one I have is a Loaded SL2 Sedan. I purched the SL2 because of my need for reliable transportation that is inexpensive to maintain. I put over 200,000 miles on my first SL2 from 1996 to 2000 and only performed the periodic preventative maintenance. My current SL2 had provided the same excellent service as the first. Also after renting a variety of cars during travel - Never a Saturn - I was never comfortble in any of the small cars that the company authorized. When I drove the saturn on long trips I was very confortable.
