I had this car for about two years now and i love it. It's a fun little car to drive, easy to handle. Its sporty and good looking, interior is good also. Great on gas, I get around 30mpg and it has 88k. Its fast acceleration and braking stops pretty good. It is very reliable and I think is a great overall car.

It was the first car I ever owned, and i loved it... until problems started stacking up on it. the front right knuckle gave out on me first, then the engine and trans followed. It didn't help with the costs any that Saturn parts are hard to find. The interior is a bit odd and there really is no room to put people in the back seat. The whole layout of the car is strange, it is awkward and cramped. I always told people that it is a great car, when it works properly though. Either way, it was my first car and i loved it but it just leeched money from me every chance it got.

I love this car. I have a 2001 with 164,000 miles on it. It's having some transmission issues now. I used it regularly till 2011 when I bought a Lexus rx300. Which I drove to 194,000 miles till it died. I sat the Saturn mostly since 2011! Then needed to use it this October 2018! And it runs well...aside from a catches...backing up. I can't believe this car. Die Hard!

This car has been nothing but a nightmare for my husband and I. At 70k miles, the ENGINE blew. We replaced the engine because it was cheaper than buying a new car, but there are just too many problems. Too much road noise, it shakes, the radio went out. We have to change the oil so often, it's crazy. The acceleration, especially on inclines, is terrible. Due to a flood, we will be getting rid of this car. We will never buy another Saturn.

Owned this car for a few years, put 40,00km on it. Has 78k altogether. Starts everyday no problem even in - 30C weather. Fast off the line but thats about it, only problems I've had is a gasket cracking but that's probably because of how I drive it. It gets amazing gas mileage if you drive it lightly. Sharp looking car in red which I have and also this paint stays shiny and doesn't scratch or chip easily. Great car for the price and I would recomend this car to anyone
