This is the first new vehicle i purchased and it was a big mistake. This saturn is underpowered and i have had constant problems with the transmission. The windows dont seal right and the car has the most uncomfortable seats i have ever experienced. The car went down in value by $11,000 in under a year. I plan to get rid of it next year and avoid Saturn.
Don't buy this car!!!!!

I bought this car two years ago and have had nothing but problems. First to go was the water pump, five months later i had to replace the engine as well as $800 worth of other repairs. got the 12k miles, 12 month warranty on engine and 9k miles and 9 months later, gas intake gasket went out. saturn wouldn't honor the warranty and finally agreed to pay half which still left me putting another $270 into it. Now, one month later they tell me my transmission is leaking and i need a new one. i am getting another car before i have to put any more into this worthless car. I hate it!!!

Auto Transmission failed at 53,000 miles. Also, an electronic control affecting the transmission also had to be replaced. Had constant problems with a fast idle which was finally fixed but not by dealer. Has the 100 hp engine and is underpowered. Have to be very careful when merging with traffic. Worst car buying decision I ever made!

I have the plain jane SL. 2001 model. The only option was A/C, which is needed in the south. Dealer sales and service were and are top notch, with an absolutely "no hassles" policy, even for warranty complaints. One defect couldn't be duplicated at first, then a second tech saw that a key part wasn't even installed at the factory. At least they owned up to their own mistake. Quite refreshing for once. I didn't expect much from it, so I guess I can't be too disappointed.
