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

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.

This car is the greatest car that I have ever owned. It gets great gas mileage. 39 mpg. It is fast and sporty. I love the sunroof, does not leak. I replaced a motor mount at 100,000 miles but that is to be expected. Very cute I have the bright yellow one. Paint still looks new after 7 years. Love the 3rd door with the kids. Overall I say just a great car!

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.

Disappointed with Saturn

I owned a 1993 SC2 for seven years and was very happy with it so decided to trade-in for a re-sesigned 2001 SC2 (having gotten a great trade-value on my previous Saturn). Well, so far, the rotors have warped, I've needed new struts and engine mount and now the dealership is telling me I need a new rack & pinion steering column at the tune of almost $1,200 - yikes! Also, terrible resale value!!!
