Overall it is a great car, corners very well, and accelerates quickly. On the other hand the car has only 35k miles on it and the transaxel is going out. Will not go in reverse (unless cold) and shifts hard into 2nd. This is the automatic transaxel though.
It's okay... but I wouldn't buy another

I like my car most of the time. I don't like the way it accelerates. In the first month they had to replace my radio (the transmitter broke). Within 6 months they had to fix my power windows because the mechanism got caught in the door lock and wouldn't allow the window to roll up. Within the first year, they had to replace my rack and pinion. 6 months later it was the Left front strut tower. It's a car built to hold someone that is shorter, like me, so it's very comfortable to get behind the wheel and drive. Overall though with all the problems I've had, I probably wouldn't buy another Saturn.
Good solid car

This is a fun, sporty little family sedan. It drives well and has good pickup. With the leather upgrade, the interior is very nice and comfortable. Of course Saturn knocks itself out trying to keep their customers happy so that is a nice bonus. The no-dent body panels are an excellent feature.
Disappointed with my Saturn SC2

Don't waste your money on a SC2. My car has left me stranded in the middle of the night too many times. The service deparment at my dealership don't know what they are doing. My 3 yr old car was towed 4 times.
Bad Transmissions

I've had my car in the shop atleast 5 times since purchasing it to get the transmission fixed and it still doesn't work right. Also, I can't get the key out of the ignition after putting it in park without pushing the shifter in again. It's a very poor quality car. Other Saturns might be good, but the 2001 SL1 is a bad vintage, in my opinion.
