My Saturn
I love my little saturn. It gets up and goes, has excellent gas mileage and is fun to drive. I don't care what that review says, I love my saturn and it fits me perfectly.
My Saturn
I wanted a Saturn from the time I started looking at new cars. The SC2 has seat adjustments for your back and once I got the seat adjusted for me, it's been great! The gas mileage is good. The car is quiet and the temperature settings keep the car either warm or cool. I find the trunk a bit small sometimes, but this is to be expected with a sporty car. But the back seats go down, so I can put long things in with no problem. For my final rating, if I had to do all over again, I'd buy my Saturn in a heartbeat!

No Title
Very dependable car so far. Performance wise, could use a little more horsepower. Bad blind spot toward the back left side of the driver. Interior build quality is kind of cheap.
Good Base Model
Bought last year for $5000 out the door. Gets great gas mileage (32 on combined surface/highway commute) has acceptable power for a 4banger. Looks good. I find it very uncomfortable on long trips. The seats sit low and have a deep pocket for your bum which means the raised edge hits your thigh and cuts off your circulation. A slightly firmer taller more upright seat would be so much more comfortable. The steering is a bit tight -can be jerky at high speed. The plastic insets (a/c vents, console pieces, etc) vibrate and make a lot of noise when idling at a stop or driving in low gears. Rides a little rough, you can feel all the bumps in the pavement
2001 Saturn SC1
I purchased a new Saturn SC1 in 2000. I have not had any major problems. The fuel tank was recalled shortly after I bought the car. My power sunroof has leaked into the trunk 2 times. Saturn has gladly fixed it both times. In June 2002, I took my car to the Saturn of Fishers in Indianapolis for an oil change and one of the technicians scrapped up the front of my car on what looked like a machine. Saturn paid to have it repaired. It was a little inconvient though because i had to take off work to get the car fixed. Will I buy a Saturn again? I doubt it. The resale is not good and the customer service is not quite as good as they claim.
