I love my saturn and the third door. It is stylish and looks nice. The only thing I wish it had a little more power. But I guess that is why I get great gas mileage.

I'm a 20 year old college student and my dad bought me a Saturn SC2 (automatic) with 140,000 miles as my first car when I got my license at 18, about 2.5 years ago. My dad drives a 2001 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck (manual). Let me tell you, his truck has 220,000 miles on it and has NEVER broken down on him in 4 years. In 2.5 years my car has broken down on me more times than I can count on two hands. I'm getting tired of staring at the back of his truck while he tows me back to the house, sometimes 100+ miles away from home. I have maintained this car meticulously, and faithfully gotten every repair ever needed and it STILL breaks down. Every month it's a $500 repair. Get a Toyota, I'll be.

Bought this car used from a dealer. I was there shopping for new but saw this little gem outside on the lot. Took it out for a test drive and had a ball. Low mileage, one owner, clean and relatively cheap. So far I've invested in nothing but some sticky tires. The engine is a reliable, gas sipping little 4 cylinder but its power to weight is just right to keep driving interesting. It doesn't have the exterior fit and finish of an import and there are some minor interior design flaws. The driver's seat is a bit small for a tall person but there is enough leg room. The third door is great for loading large items that won't fit in the trunk. Oh yeah, did I mention it's really fun to drive?

I purchased a new Saturn SC1 in 2000. I have not had any major problems. The fuel tank was recalled shortly after I bought the car. My power sunroof has leaked into the trunk 2 times. Saturn has gladly fixed it both times. In June 2002, I took my car to the Saturn of Fishers in Indianapolis for an oil change and one of the technicians scrapped up the front of my car on what looked like a machine. Saturn paid to have it repaired. It was a little inconvient though because i had to take off work to get the car fixed. Will I buy a Saturn again? I doubt it. The resale is not good and the customer service is not quite as good as they claim.
For a small motor, darn good!

For a small motor, the car is nice. You really can bring out the HP after 4500 RPMs. But that will take away from the MPGs that most people want when they buy a manual transmission on a small motored car. All in all, i think that the car is fun to drive and is definitely worth looking at all of the other models also.
