This vehicle served us well until about 65k. Then, it started to break, and break, and break. Replaced engine twice before it died for good. Head gasket o-rings leaked and caused it to smoke, wheel bearings went out at 70k, many electrical problems like no auto drivers window and map lights didn't work. Fuel pump failed at 120k. Many problems, many minor and many major. Always fixing it.
Not bad for what I paid

I've only had my car a year and it's proven to be well worth the $$$. I've only had to perform scheduled maintenance and it feels like a solid car for such a small layout. Mileage is in the low 30's and everything from the seating position to the gauge cluster to the control switches are nearly perfect for me. I wish mine had a power seat, tho; the manual controls are a little clumsy. There's also a low rev vibration that makes me think something isn't tuned or balanced correctly, but others I've spoken with have the same problem, so I'm assuming it's just part of the car. Overall, I think it's a great first car or student car for those on a budget.

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.
Been good to me

Has 60,000 miles on it. Bought it used and the only thing so far that happened was the ignition had to be replaced. Other than that I've had good reliabilty with it, good milage. Best of all it's paid off.
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!
