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.
Awesome car
I bought this vehicle used, and have had nothing but fun in it! No problems at all.
Plain but Reliable
My dad bought this car when I was in the 8th grade now I am a high school senior using this car. It has about 90K miles on it now. It is burgandy with the automatic transmission. I put 2 upgraded 150W speakers in the back for better sound quality however since it has the moulding in the back you cannot hear it that well, so it's better to invest the money to put them in the front first, then the back. The standard AM/FM/ CD Which mind is equipped with is OK. This car only has a SOHC 8 Valve 100HP engine so the performance is only OK. I drive it fast since I'm a teen and already screwed up the tranny which got fixed. It's a solid and reliable car with good fuel economy. Do not race it
Best Car Ever Had.
This is my third car to own and so far it has been the best. I bought this car used and when I bought it, it still had the original parts under the hood. Besides those changing, I have not had any problems. I love this car. Great gas mileage and very fun to drive. I get comments everywhere I go, on the third door.
For a small motor, darn good!
For a small motor, the car is nice. You really can bring out the HP after 4500 RPMs. But that will take away from the MPGs that most people want when they buy a manual transmission on a small motored car. All in all, i think that the car is fun to drive and is definitely worth looking at all of the other models also.
