Loved the first 2 1/2 years but seams like now everything is falling apart. Replaced a sensor,the horn has stopped working, repalced intake gasket and now the check engine light is on.
No frills

While this model is not a head turner, it is excellent at what it was built for. After two and a half years and over 72000 miles, I've only had to replace the tires (other than scheduled maintainence). Not only has the SL1 proven to be reliable, it is also very economical. I average 41mpg in mixed driving, which is much better than I have seen advertised. Good news for those of us who are not yet sold on the gas/electric go-carts now available.
Two many repairs for a kind of new car

After having the car for a little over a year there was a crack engine mount and problems with the exhaust system, resulting in over $700 to pass inspection. Recently a coolant leave occurred along with issues with the water pump, once again resulting on about $700 worth of repairs. Way to much money to have to be spending on a relatively new car. Already have 60k miles on it, but still these problems shouldn't be happening.

Got the car in Spring of 04 to drive me out from Ohio to California. It did the job. Although, the idol has ALWAYS given me problems. Idol increases when car is not moving. It broke down in 05 and the fuel injectors needed replaced. New battery in 07. In 09 it started running bad. It does not accelerate as good as did before, and the engine is rough. Driver and passenger side windows are slow moving and sometimes to even go down or up. Sadly, I will have to replace it. I thought it would last longer, but still not bad. I would not buy another Saturn.

The Saturn SL2 is nothing if not fuel efficient. Getting well over 30 miles to gallon, the car is a gift in the recent times with gas prices ever rising. The engine leaves much to be desired in power. An individual driving the small, light weight car should have no issues with it however, cram the car with a brady bunch of people and you'll find the engine has no torque to speak of. The acceleration is somewhere between average to good but once you add in the torque issue with a large group of people, the acceleration goes right out the window. The car does come with most of the basic ammenities such as powered windows and the like but nothing special. All and all the car is plain but great.
