Used 2001 Saturn S-Series SC2 3dr Coupe (1.9L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
A Fun Car to Drive
I got this car new in 9/00 and am thoroughly enjoying it. It has decent pickup (5-speed manual is actually better than the automatic), and is very fuel-efficient. The interior is reasonably comfortable, although I'm not sure I'd want to drive from NY to CA in it. All in all, it's a fun car to drive, however it is NOT a family 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!
My Saturn
I wanted a Saturn from the time I started looking at new cars. The SC2 has seat adjustments for your back and once I got the seat adjusted for me, it's been great! The gas mileage is good. The car is quiet and the temperature settings keep the car either warm or cool. I find the trunk a bit small sometimes, but this is to be expected with a sporty car. But the back seats go down, so I can put long things in with no problem. For my final rating, if I had to do all over again, I'd buy my Saturn in a heartbeat!
So far... very good
I have only driven this car a few hundred miles but it is great. Shifting is smooth and easy, comfort is fantastic. The third door is very helpfull for using the back seat. I am very happy with my puchase.
LOVE this car!!!
Bought new in June 2000, "built" it online and so actual purchase at the dealership took less than an hour. I fell in love with the car then, and the love affair continues. Saturn doesn't make the blackberry color any more, which I don't understand, because it is gorgeous. Ive had no problems with any part of this car. Nothing leaks, nothing rattles, no mysterious shimmies -- just a sleek sporty pleasure to drive. And great gas mileage (who knew, in 2000, how really important that would be today?!!)
