This is the first car I bought after having my license a few years.. It drives great for having 132,000 miles on it when I purchased it. No storage area inside though, but rather large trunk. It gets about 22 mpg. Great car for young person to get from A to B.
Good highway fuel economy

Bought it new and have over 148K miles. Kept detail records and the overall gas mileage is 34 MPG. Road mileage around 36 MPG at an average of 70MPH with A/C on. Max MPG is 42. Uses 1Qt of oil every 2K miles. Fun to drive, still has original battery. Heads have never been off. Upgraded tires to Michelin and this was a big improvement in handling. Major repair was the rear suspension. Sad that GM ruined a good small car.
Powerless!

Small hills NAIL this car, and I've been the recipient of alot of road rage, and other drivers have come very close to running over me. Driving this car is nerve wracking! With the way this car (DOESN'T) moves, it's impossible to get out of the way of the crazies.
3 door wonder

I love my saturn and the third door. It is stylish and looks nice. The only thing I wish it had a little more power. But I guess that is why I get great gas mileage.
Great for travel & safety

This was my third car & second Saturn. In the past year I have driven over 30,000 miles on a modest budget & have been able to do so comfortably with the fuel efficiency and reliability of this car. In the five years I have owned the car I have had routine maintenance done on a regular basis & replaced the battery one time. The power locks were sticking just before I lost the car but no other major problems. I had a head-on accident that could have been very serious but I walked away without injury, which is without a doubt due partially to the superior safety standards of Saturn. I'll miss that car, & I'm struggling to find a replacement as safe, affordable, reliable & fuel efficient!
