2000 SATURN SL2
THIS CAR IS VERY DEPENDABLE, THE LARGEST PROBLEM I HAVE HAD YET,WAS A FLAT TIRE.
Tricked Out SC1
I recently got a 2000 SC1 for graduation. I did alot of after market specs to it. I currently have a Injen IS4000 intake,OBX B-3 Exhaust, Strut and Sway Bars,Header,Cams,Perilli tires with Konig 18's in it. I love my car. I recently was invitied into the Superstreet Car Show and was given best show and engine for domestic.
Great car!
I have never had any problems with my car! The dealership is great, never any hassles. I plan on buying another Saturn in the future.
Lasted well, longer than I thought
I bought the car in Jan of 03 used with 43,000 miles on it. It's a great economical car. It didnt give me any major problems, just a lot of interior rattling. When the A/C is on, the acceleration is horrible. The power windows gave me a little trouble, and I had them replaced and they still gave me trouble. The only major thing I have to do so far is replace the battery. Otherwise, just the general maintenence. It now has 93,000 miles on it. So it did very well for how much I've used it the past two and half years.
Nothing to write home about
Have had the car 5 years now, with ~42000 miles. It gets decent gas mileage, and will go all day on the highway, but heaven help you if you have to do any accelerating. Driving in city traffic can be downright hair raising, as the car can barely get out of its own way. Our car has the auto tranny, and running the A/C certainly doesn't help, but pressing the accelerator and getting nothing but more noise from the engine is not acceptable. If you don't have to deal with lots of highway merges, you'll do OK with this car. If you need any acceleration at all, look elsewhere.
