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.

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.

I have had my Saturn for 2 years now and havn't had any problems with it what so ever. Its just been a great car. It gets great gas milage which has saved me a ton of money. Although it has a small engine it has great get up and go. It also has never had any troube starting in the winters for me, but I do have an engine block heater in it too that I always make sure to plug in when it gets really cold especially when it is below 0.

I leased my saturn brand new in the begging of 2001. Since i bought the car it has always pulled to the left even after getting it "fixed" buy saturn. I have had it in there shop 3 times because of the brake rotors were being warped. (im very easy on the brakes i even downsift) every time they fix it and a week later they are messed up again. I was going up hill in 3rd gear when the clutch broke. Yeah it Broke!!! they fixed that. then the Transmision went out soon after that. and they would not warenty that even though i only had 12,000 miles on it. so i had to fix it. then it broke 2 more times in all. Just dont get this car.
