Used 2001 Saturn S-Series Sedan Consumer Reviews
Petal to the Metal Momma
Bought in May 2002 with excellent financing deal. Two major drawbacks: Low resale value and engine problems. At 35,000 miles with just a 1000 to go on the warranty, my Saturn had a main gasket leak, and a leaking battery-- replaced with no hassle.Works great now, but I'm ditching it for a better than average Honda/Toyota sedan. Moves if you put the petal to the metal for work commute. Can always fit it in a parking space downtown.
Great Economy Car
I couldn't disagree more with some of the negative reviews that people have left. I bought this car as a commuter/winter car...drive 110 miles per day and other car is a convertible Jag. I'm 6'4" and I feel it has very ample head and leg room, and my back never hurts after my daily commute. I bought the car with 49,000 miles on it, have 64,000 now and have only had to get a cheap gasket replaced. I highly recommend this car to anyone who wants cheap, comfortable, and reliable transportation.
A very reliable vehicle
I loved my Saturn. It has been a trouble free car for me since I owned it from day 1. I don't have to do any repair other than normal wear and tear. This car is easy to drive and very reliable. Although it might be a little under power, it is great for communting because of the fuel efficiency. This is the only car I ever owned that is rust proof after going through many snowy winters.
This is a good car for the money
It has been almost 3 years since I purchased my 2001 Saturn SL1. I have yet to have a serious problem with the car, and with the exception of regular oil changes (which I am religious about), the car has run reliably all this time. Get the 5-speed manual transmission, as GM manual transmissions are known for their reliability.
A good review
I love this car, it's reliable, comfortable, and extremely cheap on gas. It great for getting around in the city.
