Smokin' Savanna - My Second SW-2

I enjoy driving Savanna, as she has good pick up when needed, and a smooth ride. I feel safe with dual airbags and her responsiveness. She's given me few problems. With regular servicing, anything needing correction usually surfaces. The storage area makes loading and unloading easy. Too bad wagons have been dropped from production.

As our family has grown I am researching other cars. I have spent very little to maintain this car. Probably 1,000 or less and just crossed the 100k mark (not including the oil changes). I drove this off the lot and have taken good care of it.

Been a good car so far...

I ordered my car from the factory and have had little problems with it overtly. I had the sunroof replaced shortly before my warranty ran out at 30k. At the same time they found that the motor mount had cracked and the exhaust manifold also had a crack in it. All were replaced under warranty. The car is noisy at high speeds but I don't usually hear the noise because the stereo is up fairly loud. It's fun to drive and as of this writing have had no drive train problems. The brakes were also recently checked with no warping of rotors mentioned in other articles. All in all a good car with a few minor issues.

I love this car and everything about it. The only thing i have that it needs is a little more power to make it up the hills. But that is it. Over all i love this car and everything about it. It is a safe and fun car.

Petal to the Metal Momma

Bought in May 2002 with excellent financing deal. Two major drawbacks: Low resale value and engine problems. At 35,000 miles with just a 1000 to go on the warranty, my Saturn had a main gasket leak, and a leaking battery-- replaced with no hassle.Works great now, but I'm ditching it for a better than average Honda/Toyota sedan. Moves if you put the petal to the metal for work commute. Can always fit it in a parking space downtown.
