Used 2001 Saturn S-Series Consumer Reviews
A Decent Kind Of Car
I bought the car back in February 2007 for my wife with 95,849 miles on the odometer. We drove it to Florida 6 months later and spent 100 dollars roundtrip on fuel. The only problems we had with it were a bad ignition coil, a/c compressor quit working, water leak(ending up replacing the radiator, water pump and thermostat). Otherwise, it's a decent kind of car but I rarely drive it because it's too small for me but perfect for my 5'3" wife. I have no complaints about it. We currently have over 160,000 miles on the car and still going strong.
Awesome car
I bought this vehicle used, and have had nothing but fun in it! No problems at all.

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!
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
