This car is worth the money
This is a great car. I love how the inside/outside looks. This is my first car and I have been driving it for months and still no problems except a tiny oil leak that doesn't matter because it gets changed in more than enough time anyways. I'm 5'4 and fits my friends and I perfectly. Those who are taller complain of being squished though. I don't mind the small creaks it has because I'm too busy enjoying my great shiny car. GREAT sound system and is perfect for my commutes to college. The mpg it gets is awesome as well. Love the sunroof, when I open it during the winter it helps heat my car up before I even get in with the suns help.Overall great car. Will run forever. Got this car at 79K
Love it!
I had my heart set on a Honda Civic until I found this car - and have been a very happy owner since. I've had only one minor repair apart from the sunroof (which I rarely use and when it broke for the second time I didn't bother to fix it) in 7 years. The paint still looks new and shiny despite the harsh desert sun and freezing mountain ice. I drive four miles of rough dirt road every day to work and back and the car is so tightly built there is almost no rattling, and it handles washboard very smoothly.
Sporty and Fun
I bought this car new in Sept of 2001. It has been a really great car. Very few repair bills. I've only put 89k miles on it and would love to keep it forever but, alas I am getting older and because it is a sporty coupe it sits low to the ground and I am beginning to have problems getting in and out of it. My granddaughter keeps remarking on how it still looks new. She is fifteen and who knows maybe I'll hang onto it for another year and give it to her. It has a lot of life still with only 89k miles on it.

Excellent Quality for the Price
I have owned my Satty for two years now and it has always been there for me. The car has enough get up and go for the city, stop and go traffic, and flat areas. I don't understand why people would buy an S-series in the mountains when you know you need more performance than a 1.9L car, get a V6 or something and cough up some more money! I am bewildered why anyone would bash such a reliable and decent car for its performance when it clearly is a econobox not meant to climb up and down mountains. For the commuter, this car is awesome, but for the people who "want to be cool" or go offroading, please stop hurting Saturn's feelings!
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.
