I have had my Saturn in to the dealership at least once every three months since I have had it. For many of the problems (electric windows, AC system, suspension)I had to bring the car in more than once because the service dept could not find the problem. I had to make four visits for a total of 13 days for a knock in the front end. They told me that I should just ignore the knock! Past sales, there is not real service. I got this car for its sleek looks, and that's all I got!
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.
The best car EVER!!!

I have owned several smaller cars. This is by far the best. I bought it because my first car was an older model of the same vehicle. I was 16 and rode that car ragged and it still kept going. I have had this one for 3 years now. The only thing I have had to replace is the clutch on the a/c. I am not the most responsible car owner even though I am married to a mechanic. My car never disappoints me. I have a 2 year old and I never worry that we will be stranded anywhere. Unfortunately we are expanding our family so we have to move up to an SUV. If I could make this car larger I would never get rid of it. EXCELLENT gas mileage. I get gas about 3 times a month for $22 from empty.
200,000 miles and going strong

I bought this car new with 28 miles. I now have 212,000+! It's an economy car, so nothing fancy with the features. Replaced the usuals, but the front wheel bearings have needed replacing. The intake manifold gasket is next. Not bad for the high miles. It's a zippy car (4cyl, 5-speed manual), and the MPGs have paid for the car. Low resale, but not sure I'll sell before 300,000!
This is the best car ever!

I have had this car for 4 years now and it has made it through large and deep puddles on flooded streets. It has handled wonderfully on snowy streets in Pennsylvannia. It had 41 MPG on a 1000 mile journey with a packed out back seat and trunk. Recently my husband and I were in a wreck. We were hit on the back right tire and did a 180. We did not feel a thing inside the vehicle and it handled beautifully. This is a great buy for anyone wanting a reliable and safe car.
