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.

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.
Above average American 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.
Slowly Began to Annoy Me

No major mechanical problem with the car. Has good mileage and has served me well. Me and the car have a relationship of convenience. It's a used economy car so I'll try to be fair. Rattling and minor repairs are expected. Still, the car has no acceleration (unsafe on highway, hills), badly designed, uncomfotable interior. Cup holder in careless location, torture seats, no sun-visor mirror on drivers side. Bad visability, frame gets in way, etc. Get a Honda. Just because it is an economy car doesn't mean that the litte things don't matter. It doesn't actually cost more to design a car in a sensible way, but it costs thousands when you lose what could have been a life long customer
Good Low end Car with no Frills

Overall this is a very good car. warranty work 7,000 miles battery blew fluid, 20,000 needed new window switch on center console and 34,000 miles needed new injectors. All of this was covered under warranty. Of course the tires are useless, mine are all cracked and will be replacing them with Yokohama Avid T4s. I drove the car from CA to ME 7,500 miles in three weeks and had no problems. Prior to that I was going to get rid of it at 3 years. Know I will keep since it is almost paid off. I would not recommend saturn of Fresno service mechanics forgot to tighten bolts and left a screwdriver under the hood that I found.
