The Great PlasticMobile

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.
Pleasantly Surprised

We never even thought of the Saturn when we started looking for the car, but when we saw this car, it seemed to suit all of our needs, which were fuel economy, fun to drive, safe, reliable and you didn't feel that you were in an econobox. This car over the past year has proven to be all of those. The body panels are an added bonus in the northern climate in which road salt is used on the highways during winter.
Reliable and Economical

My parents leased this car when it first hit the dealers. I was too young to drive it then, but when I started to drive it had about 60k miles on it. Now it has over 100 km. This car is pretty good overall. I'd say it is very reliable, cause it's been offroading, it hit a curb and went airborne, and it flipped and landed on it's roof. (dont ask how all that happend:) and it's still in great condition. So I think this car is reliable and tough. Acceleration isn't that bad but it is a 4 cyl. At high speeds this car is a little rough riding. Over the years the only bad thing about the car is the engine failed at only 90 km. So we bought a used engine w/60 km on it. If you get it cheap, then it's good
