My Saturn is less than 3 years old and within the last month everything fell apart. I've already done $800 in repairs and now they are saying I need another $800 worth. Saturns are only good for a few years, so lease rather than buy. Notice that there are few older Saturns on the road. Resale value not as high as other makes.
SL2 Dark Red-Fun Car

I bought my SL2 for the fuel mileage. Little did I know that it would be a fun car to drive. The engine really comes to life at 4000 rpm and above. It is definitely not a luxury vehicle though. The road noise is a little louder than I would like and the rear suspension won't accomodate 4 adults. It tends to bottom-out easily with the extra weight.
Lasted well, longer than I thought

I bought the car in Jan of 03 used with 43,000 miles on it. It's a great economical car. It didnt give me any major problems, just a lot of interior rattling. When the A/C is on, the acceleration is horrible. The power windows gave me a little trouble, and I had them replaced and they still gave me trouble. The only major thing I have to do so far is replace the battery. Otherwise, just the general maintenence. It now has 93,000 miles on it. So it did very well for how much I've used it the past two and half years.

My Saturn is pretty fun to drive, practical, and good on gas which is a great thing nowadays. However, over the past couple years, I've noticed that it's not as quiet and smooth as it once was. The engine rumbles when it's cold, the transmission is a bit notchier than before, and some interior pieces are becoming a bit rattly. The fact that they are predominantly hard plastic doesn't help. Saturn plastic side panels are a great idea, in theory. Unfortunately, in colder climates like where I live, the plastic hardens in the winter, so instead of rebounding, they shatter. Happened to the bottom of my bumper last winter.
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.
