We've had this car 7 years and this summer had the first major repair, a new water pump. The exterior still looks new and shiney. We did have to have the motor replaced in the electric windows a couple of years ago. It is an extremely reliable car and we plan to keep it a couple more years!

Original SL2 4-door owner. Odom 175,000 mi. Mostly interstate commu- ting /2 jobs. No car paym since 2004. On 3rd battery & tires. Clean oil always. Timing belt, 02 sensor,brakes (once), muffler, starter. So what? Driving basically for $zero. 5 speed manual/problem free. Will install re- manufactured 1.9DOHC to reach 300K mi. Saturn of USA, I miss you already.

No major problems. Rather unremarkable. Car now has over 100,000 miles. Driving it at high altitude (5,000 - 11,000 feet). No problems with acceleration. Main problem is a rough ride and lots of vibration in stop and go traffic. Car seems like it is going to choke out when slowing or approaching a red light. Is starting to use oil. However, as stated, the car has over 100,000 mile and faces daily heavy driving on steep grades at high speeds. Been a low maintenance car and driven it loaded down cross country with high mileage. Car performs well at high speeds even with the high mileage.
Plain but Reliable

My dad bought this car when I was in the 8th grade now I am a high school senior using this car. It has about 90K miles on it now. It is burgandy with the automatic transmission. I put 2 upgraded 150W speakers in the back for better sound quality however since it has the moulding in the back you cannot hear it that well, so it's better to invest the money to put them in the front first, then the back. The standard AM/FM/ CD Which mind is equipped with is OK. This car only has a SOHC 8 Valve 100HP engine so the performance is only OK. I drive it fast since I'm a teen and already screwed up the tranny which got fixed. It's a solid and reliable car with good fuel economy. Do not race it
Best I've ever owned

Bought this car new in Fall 2000, put 140K miles on in the next 3.5 years driving 140 miles a day, 40mpg. Oil changes every 3K miles. Nothing but tires and other routine maintainence in that time. At 9 years and 234K, I've replaced tires, alternator, 1 battery, brakes, struts, intake gasket. It still has the original exhaust even though a hanger broke years ago. Solid & durable for those who take care of their cars. Always starts even though it is always parked outside in WI winters. At my height 5'4" it has been perfect, but my 6'7" 300+lb husband, long trips are uncomfortable. Even now, I get 34 mpg city/hwy mixed. Replaced with a Subaru Forester, will miss my little friend.
