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.

For the price this is a great car. Excellent MPG and works well as a commuting car. I don't plan to spend alot of time on freeways but around town it is great. Past reliability is very good and everyone says that their service is the best.

Bad Transmissions

I've had my car in the shop atleast 5 times since purchasing it to get the transmission fixed and it still doesn't work right. Also, I can't get the key out of the ignition after putting it in park without pushing the shifter in again. It's a very poor quality car. Other Saturns might be good, but the 2001 SL1 is a bad vintage, in my opinion.
