Got the SC2 in 2004 with 76k miles. Have put on hard highway and around town miles (I'm not easy on cars) up to 122k now. Very reliable starting and driving, not so much for interior, fit, finish, peripheral engine parts, etc. Have needed to replace coolant temp sensor, fuel pump, automatic trans speed sensor, everything else routine. Engine burns oil slowly (have heard this is a Saturn problem) and loses coolant during cold months. Terrible on snow and ice due to very light weight. Nearly unusable rear seats, uncomfortable front. Everything shakes at highway speeds (also seems to be common on this model), loud, cheap interior. Great gas mileage, decent looks, easy to drive, low power
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.

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.

I purchased this car after totaling my previous one. Although I wasn't thrilled at first; I wanted a Nissan, I have come to love my Saturn. I bought it 3 years ago and have put 85K on it. And the only things I have had to replace are some tires and a battery. I love the gas mileage, it has a great sound system for factory and it's incredibly reliable. I do wish the interior was in a little better shape, my headliner looks awful, but the paint and all the things still work. I was in a very tiny fender bender and my car looks like it was in a much more serious accident. The other car was fine. So, I wish it were made out of metal, not plastic. All in all, for the price, it's a great car!
Other Companies Do It Better

I bought my SC1 new in 2000 because the insurance was low for a 19 year old male. I had been looking at a Mazda Protege or a Nissan Sentra and I am still torn over my decision. My Saturn has been completely reliable. I have had only few and minor mechanical problems, but the overall build quality of the car is low. The interior parts don't quite fit together right. The vinyl on the side of my seat is cracking, and now I have two lights inside of the dash that have gone out. Additionally, I have a 5 speed and the shifting is very strange. People who drive other 5 speeds have trouble driving the Saturn. I would think twice before buying another Saturn.
