I loved my Saturn. It has been a trouble free car for me since I owned it from day 1. I don't have to do any repair other than normal wear and tear. This car is easy to drive and very reliable. Although it might be a little under power, it is great for communting because of the fuel efficiency. This is the only car I ever owned that is rust proof after going through many snowy winters.

i had my sc2 for a little over a year. it was a special edition yellow, a little over 21K. It was a terrible car rotors warped several times, misc shaking problems on higway, trans shifted poorly, paint flaws, interior was outdated, exterior looked sporty,ok for a price of 10-15K not ok for the over 20K I spent for it new. traded it in on a new 02 grand am se1 sedan which has been an excellent car.

It has been almost 3 years since I purchased my 2001 Saturn SL1. I have yet to have a serious problem with the car, and with the exception of regular oil changes (which I am religious about), the car has run reliably all this time. Get the 5-speed manual transmission, as GM manual transmissions are known for their reliability.

This is the second Saturn I have owned. The first was a 1992 SL. I put 250,000 miles on it before I replaced it with the SL2 I own now. I had very few problems with the first and I have had no problems with the one I own now. Excellent!!!!
