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.
Cheapest car to drive!!
I have had my Saturn for 6 months and have put over 20,000 miles on it. It has been wonderful, on the highway I can get up to 45 miles per gallon! Wow! The 5 speed is very peppy and pretty puick for what it has under the hood. My wife has an 05 Impala and I can keep up with it from the line. Have done routine oil changes and have had to change the ignition packs this weekend. Done myself and was only $105. Not bad I think. I love my Saturn. I travel a lot and there could not be a better car for the task! I would recommend very highly! Thank you Saturn!
Still going after all these years!
I bought this SL-2 in August of 2000. I put on approximately 20k miles per year. Aside from issues with the sunroof, and one of the power window switches (it broke off) it's been a great car! Now with 120k miles and 6 years on it I continue to get 30-35 MPG highway, and it still purrs like a kitten. Oh, and people think it's only a couple years old! Love plastic side panels!
A great car
When I was shopping for a new car, I had my heart set on a Honda, but I am very pleased with my Saturn. It is very fun to drive and gets great gas mileage. I got a good deal on it and have not had any problems or complaints at all. I would recomend it to anyone, especially if you are a student who needs a good looking car that will save you money. It has a sportier look than most other models and despite what others have said, I think it is comfortable to drive. However, if you are a larger person, a coupe may be a little small.
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.
