100% relaible for 15 years
I purchased my SC2 new in 2001. I have spent less than $900 on repairs in all that time - 15 years - other than on scheduled maintainance. The car has 167,000 miles on it. Yes, the suspension has become a little rough and jangley, but I live in Minnesota and the snow and salt are really rough on your car and the road, but my SC2 has NEVER once broken down or left me stranded. The car still looks good - no rust, leather seats have held up great. I am now in the market for a new car. Hope I will be this lucky again.

Great Car!
I had this car for about two years now and i love it. It's a fun little car to drive, easy to handle. Its sporty and good looking, interior is good also. Great on gas, I get around 30mpg and it has 88k. Its fast acceleration and braking stops pretty good. It is very reliable and I think is a great overall car.
Love and Hate
It was the first car I ever owned, and i loved it... until problems started stacking up on it. the front right knuckle gave out on me first, then the engine and trans followed. It didn't help with the costs any that Saturn parts are hard to find. The interior is a bit odd and there really is no room to put people in the back seat. The whole layout of the car is strange, it is awkward and cramped. I always told people that it is a great car, when it works properly though. Either way, it was my first car and i loved it but it just leeched money from me every chance it got.
I love it!
This car is the greatest car that I have ever owned. It gets great gas mileage. 39 mpg. It is fast and sporty. I love the sunroof, does not leak. I replaced a motor mount at 100,000 miles but that is to be expected. Very cute I have the bright yellow one. Paint still looks new after 7 years. Love the 3rd door with the kids. Overall I say just a great car!
Not worth the money
I have had my Saturn in to the dealership at least once every three months since I have had it. For many of the problems (electric windows, AC system, suspension)I had to bring the car in more than once because the service dept could not find the problem. I had to make four visits for a total of 13 days for a knock in the front end. They told me that I should just ignore the knock! Past sales, there is not real service. I got this car for its sleek looks, and that's all I got!
