I bought this car brand new, and have had it in the shop over a dozen times for the same things. The back door has a bad relay which does not allow you to unlock the door, this was replaced four times. The transmission is unstable. The answer from the Saturn dealer was "There is nothing wrong with it" even though it idols at 2500 RPM's, and the control panel for your windows and mirrors is right in front of the cup holder. If you use the cup holder and hit a bump, that shorts out entirely. The more I expressed concern about the safety of this vehicle the more I heard that there was nothing wrong with it.
Watch out for transmission

Transmission just failed in SL 1 2001 Saturn at 55,000 miles. PM exceeded requirements. Driven very little. Would not recommed a Saturn. Will replace with Honda Civic.
Great car

I purchased my '01 SC2 used at 48,000 miles. I never had really any problems with it except for my upper motor mount collapsed at about 75k. All in all, I loved this car before I traded. It could have a little more power, but seeing as though it isn't made anymore, that won't happen. I traded at 77k. I wanted something with a V6.This car has a very sporty look and was very realiable. With routine maintence it will last for a long time.
Saturns can take a whoopin'

I have taken this car 43 miles each way to work for nearly 7 years with nearly zero maintenance. Good car for a Grad.
Beware - Mommy Cars is hateful to drive

I bought this vehicle to commute to work (drove 75 miles each day) after a life time of driving Honda Civics and Toyotas. It simply isn't well made at all, it is akward to drive and the turning radias is ridiculously large (forget U Turns folks, unless you like being forced to go into the right hand lane!) The Saturn service is great - but I really hate the vehicle and regret purchasing it as I'll never be able to sell it (no resell value, I paid 12,998 in 2001 and it's now worth 5,100 trade-in).
