I bought this car new in November of 2000. No frills, wouldn't be comfortable for a big guy (I am 5'8), but I could not have been happier with a small car. For seven full years the car was entirely problem free, regular maintenance was only expenditure. In the last couple of years I have changed a transmission sensor, the radiator fan, and done brake jobs and a new battery and tires - but it keeps on ticking. The car is driven in Chicago, gets good mileage, is fun to drive on road trips. I really am bummed about the death of Saturn. The concept made car ownership easy, and the vehicle has been a great little pal. I would get another of these in a flash, but alas, no more. Yeah, RIP Saturn.
Excellent Quality for the Price

I have owned my Satty for two years now and it has always been there for me. The car has enough get up and go for the city, stop and go traffic, and flat areas. I don't understand why people would buy an S-series in the mountains when you know you need more performance than a 1.9L car, get a V6 or something and cough up some more money! I am bewildered why anyone would bash such a reliable and decent car for its performance when it clearly is a econobox not meant to climb up and down mountains. For the commuter, this car is awesome, but for the people who "want to be cool" or go offroading, please stop hurting Saturn's feelings!
Powerless!

Small hills NAIL this car, and I've been the recipient of alot of road rage, and other drivers have come very close to running over me. Driving this car is nerve wracking! With the way this car (DOESN'T) moves, it's impossible to get out of the way of the crazies.
My mighty Sl1

I bought my 2001 Saturn two years ago for 950.00.lve changed very little on the car and it's been running strong everyday.It has 137,000 miles on it.Ive read with proper maintenance you can get 450,00 miles out of a 1.9 liter Saturn.There very good cars.A guy wanted to give me 2500 hundred for my Saturn and I wouldn't sell it.Its to dependable.
Would sell it if i could

I bought the car for 3500 thought it was a great car which it was for the first month till the misfires started changed all the plugs. Had a smooth 2100 mile drive to Arizona and it was getting 39mpg avg 75mph. Didn't have any problems for 6 months in Phoenix getting 32mpg city. 38mpg freeway. Was reliable on the way back to Wisconsin but the day after I got back the clutch went out and knocked a hole in the transmission somehow. Replaced all of that, now the engine (rods) are knocking. Most people I talked to say the transmission goes out even on automatics.
