Dreadful fuel economy. Poor turning radius. Difficult to get in and out of. Service Engine Soon light will not extinguish. Brakes lasted a year. Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, the play was OK.

This car has a high idle problem that we have not been able to identify. The O2 sensors were replaced, but that didn't stop the high idle. Clutch needed replacing at 67000 miles, now the clutch pedal linkage needs to be replaced or jury-rigged to take up the slack. The seats are uncomfortable. All of the windows fog up when there is a heavy rain. It has never left me stranded and it gets around 30 mpg.

Car is very fuel effecient, cheap to maintain (unless you get a bad one... can happen in any make of car), relatively cheap to insure, and is pretty safe for it's price, even without side airbags (they weren't an option in 2000). Only issue I've had is the infamous intake gasket issue (I smell a TSB or secret recall/warranty brewing) due to a faulty design of this gasket. Great service at my facility (Saturn of Westbrook, Maine), and the sales process was a breeze with no smarmy salesperson. Seating is not confortable at all for longer drives, so don't buy it as your primary highway cruiser.
A good commuting vehicle

We bought our Saturn wagon used from Enterprise Car Sales. It was one year old and a lease return. We have had it for over four years and it has run excellently with only periodic maintenance. The only complaint I have is that the driver's seat is not designed as well ergonomically as I would like, and there is not enough room between my right leg and the center console, so I'm always bumping against it. Overall, we are very pleased with this vehicle and I would definitely look at buying another Saturn in the future.

Well, Saturn is tossed around as a car every member of the family should own. Safe, reliable and economical. As the commercial says, it's a family friendly car. Just one problem with all this...you never know when your going to get a deal or a dud. I've talked to a lot of satisfied owners and a lot of unhappy owners. Me? I rode the fence until we hit 70,000 miles. Since then, it's a money pit. The transmission slips between idle and go. The aluminum heads overheated and cost $2000 to repair. We're wondering what's next. Something still sounds wrong. Best advice, shop around and talk around. We've yet to find the perfect car.
