I bought this car new and have owned it for 2-1/2 years. I have had ZERO problems with it. It is a 5-speed manual transmission and I get 38 mpg steady highway driving, and 35 mpg mixed highway/city driving. The car is solid, and I am still on the original tires and brakes at 35,000 miles. I haven't spent a penney on this car. The AM/FM/CD player sounds great, too. I highly recommend it to everyone as a great second car.

Got this used over 5 yrs ago with 40K on it for $5 grand. Lacks power, comfort, weird design. But very reliable, excellent on gas, factory radio surprisingly goodl; most importantly very cheap used car - insurance low as well. Not too comfortable driving on highway - too light; winter tires are a must during winter. all in all really recommend.

I bought this car from the dealer brand new in 99. The car had 7 miles on it. I have really enjoyed this car and it is very good on gas mileage. Best mileage I ever had was 44. I routinely got over 40 on trips until I upgraded to a different tire. I have had some minor repairs but besides this it runs great and I now have 161k miles on it. It will be 9 years this year and I don't see any reason it won't go another 160 k miles. Little disappointed that Saturn did away with this car. It did way better on mileage than the Ion does. I think it was too expensive too build. Thanks for the great car.

my college ride

I found it funny that i bought a GM built car at a Ford dealer. I got this car about 6 months ago as my first car and to get me to college and back. For under 5 grand i got my SC2 with just over 100,000 miles on it. So far i have put nearly 2,500 miles on it and have had few problems. The driver window is hesitant and wont work if wet. Water pools, yes POOLs, in the side pockets in the trunk. Im sure this only happens because it never stops raining in Seattle.Plus the rear back up light rusted out, went in to get it fixed and of course the car just happened to fix itself. Other wise, its a fun small car getting 25 mpg combined (30+ highway) that just wont quit.
