I have had this car for 4 years now and it has made it through large and deep puddles on flooded streets. It has handled wonderfully on snowy streets in Pennsylvannia. It had 41 MPG on a 1000 mile journey with a packed out back seat and trunk. Recently my husband and I were in a wreck. We were hit on the back right tire and did a 180. We did not feel a thing inside the vehicle and it handled beautifully. This is a great buy for anyone wanting a reliable and safe car.

I bought this car because i want a cheap one. For 4000$ it is a realy good car. The only problem is the engine. If it is warm it is hard to start the car. I need four or five trials sometimes.

Bought our Saturn used with 49,000 miles as a rebuild. Drove it from Washington to Florida and back again one summer and it did great and all we had to do was change the oil. Generally speaking we get 30 to 40 miles per gallon. It's fun to drive.

A Decent Kind Of Car

I bought the car back in February 2007 for my wife with 95,849 miles on the odometer. We drove it to Florida 6 months later and spent 100 dollars roundtrip on fuel. The only problems we had with it were a bad ignition coil, a/c compressor quit working, water leak(ending up replacing the radiator, water pump and thermostat). Otherwise, it's a decent kind of car but I rarely drive it because it's too small for me but perfect for my 5'3" wife. I have no complaints about it. We currently have over 160,000 miles on the car and still going strong.

Purchased this car following the demise of a 97 SC2 @ 307,000 miles. Car rides/handles well although driver leg position a little uncomfortable on long trips (I'm 6'1, 230 lbs). Reliabiltiy excellent so far, dealer has been great!
