I bought this car from the dealer brand new in 99. The car had 7 miles on it. I have really enjoyed this car and it is very good on gas mileage. Best mileage I ever had was 44. I routinely got over 40 on trips until I upgraded to a different tire. I have had some minor repairs but besides this it runs great and I now have 161k miles on it. It will be 9 years this year and I don't see any reason it won't go another 160 k miles. Little disappointed that Saturn did away with this car. It did way better on mileage than the Ion does. I think it was too expensive too build. Thanks for the great car.

I have owned my car for 7 years. I have had a few problems with it as far as it stopping or not starting due to minor things like battery, cold weather and more. It has been 3 times it's stopped. Other than that it has been a great car. I paid it off and it has been saving me money ever since as I haven't had to take it into the shop. But then again I was the first owner so I made sure to take good care of it and drive lightly. If I were to buy a used sedan and was looking to save money, I'd get one. Otherwise, get a Toyota Corrola.

This car is a moneymaker. My goal at this point is to have it safely erupt in flames, so I am forced out of my shell of practicality. It has been SO reliable for 16 years, gotten me to and from work, and is now teaching my children the finer aspects of the shift stick. Seriously, this will be the most reliable and trustworthy car in my lifetime.

Getting the job done...

I drive 25m each way to work daily. This car has been getting 34mpg on average, very good with gas at $2.25 a gallon (in NY). I have a 5 speed, so power is not a problem because you simply downshift. It is fun to drive with the stick. And easier on brakes. The polymer panels are great for the northeast and the body should last a long time, appearance wise. Most cars rust out. I like the SOHC engine. Less moving parts and better engine wear I feel.

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!
