Great basic transportation

This has been my primary transportation and it now has 142000 miles. It has the automatic transmission and I consistantly get 33-35 mpg even with high freeway speeds and air conditioner use. I have replaced one set of disk brake rotors as well as two sets of front wheel bearings. I also had to replace the ignition module once. All other maintenance has been routine. Overall, a reliable car with low fuel and insurance costs. Replacement parts and labor have been higher than earlier GM models.

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.

There were no mechanical problems in the first 20,000 miles. At 20,000 miles, a significant transmission problem occurred (warranty covered). The car went well until 38,000 miles (just after 36,000 mile warranty). Between 38,000 miles and 42,000 miles, the following items needed repar: clutch, battery, intake manifold gasket, two electrical shorts. One could argue that the clutch and battery are maintenance items, however the failure of these parts was way too early. The interior had several minor airleaks around the windows (sealing issues). The sealing shortcoming did not concern me, however, the poor reliability did.
Good first car

My Saturn SL2 is my first car. It's been very reliable. I've only had one problem with it. I had to have the lower rear gasket replaced because it was leaking anti-freeze. I love the moonroof. It also has good acceleration especially for a 4 cylinder. The trunk is very roomy I mow yards as a side job and I can fit my mower in the trunk which is a great convience. The gas mileage is also great. Right now I'm getting 28-30 miles per gallon and that's even without long distant driving. I'm getting that mileage with only driving for 15 minute drives each time.

I purchased the vehicle in late 2006, and the vehicle had roughly 56,000 miles on it. The car is in good condition and have made some decent long "distant" trips and has not disappointed me on trips YET!
