It needs more power. Clutch feel is a little too sloppy, and it takes about 12-20 miles of driving to warm it up enough to get it shifting smooth. I also have a head gasket leak so it's dumping coolant in the engine and burning it off, and I have to dump a quart of oil in about every 1000 miles. Other than that, and the easy to crack plastic, the vibrating and crackling speakers, and the too small interior for me, it's OK. If you're looking for a cheap car it's fine.
Been good so far

Bought it brand new in 2000. Had a few problems. Leaking Intake Manifold, causes coolant to leak out. The dealer fixed this free of charge even though it was out of warranty. Only repair I had to pay for was Exhaust repair ($300 or so). Have an intermitant clutch chatter (5 speed). Mechanic says its not serious enough to repair
Great Buy

I have had my Saturn for almost three years, put tons of miles on it and it's still running strong! The only problems I have had with it were due to an accident which was my fault. I'd highly recommend this car!

I would sum this car up to OK. It has good economy (37MPG highway) but tends to lack the goods inside. Lots of road noise even with new tires, arm rest breaks, rattles, no seat comfort, long trips can wear on the back and bum, and I guess I could go on for days. The running gear has caused a lot of problems for me. Car had 50K when purchased and the fuel pump failed (leaving me stranded) and lots of little things were broke. Catalytic convertor had to be replaced from the motor burning oil. The oil burning is out of control and is getting worse. At this point all of the suspension system has been replaced. Some maintenance is expected, but this all was before 110K.
Great Bang for Your Buck

43K miles and like new! Resale is higher than any other domestic small car and many imports. Five speed is very fun to drive. Drawbacks: front seats for long drives (+3 hours) and factory tires are noisier/poorer handling than I'd like in exchange for long life. Replaced them with sport tires (I drive aggressively) and it's actually about 10-15% quieter now--I was surprised. Really enjoy the good Stereo, the moonroof, adjustments to driver's seat and oil life monitor (simple feature, but it's the small stuff that makes the biggest difference). For performance buffs, Saturns are raced in SCCA competition with a plethora of performance parts and suppliers.
