Used 2001 Saturn S-Series Coupe Consumer Reviews
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.
my Inexpensive sport car
hey guys heres a car that dosn't cost much fun to drive and looks good from day one I expected the unexpected but to my suprize I'm still impressed at the way i can move in and out of traffic quite comfortablely with no problem and parkings another thing I live in a big city that has the usual bumper to bumper traffic every morning and having downsized to a smaller car has been a blessing exspeacialy with the price of gas these days nothing but positive things have happened since i brought my self a saturn.
Automatic Transaxel Problems
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.
Mediocre auto
The Saturn SC2 is a good car for someone on a tight budget looking for low cost gas (good gas mileage). If you can afford better, though, avoid this car. It's run well for me, but the small issues I've had thus far (e.g., brakes) I should not have had already, nor should these repairs cost so much! The car is sluggish, though this should be expected. I've already considered trading the car in, but the resale value is atrocious... dropped 60% in 9 months?!?!?!
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.
