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.
nice car but....

It was a nice car and all. Just that the blamed thing hated hills, merging, or anything that had to do with hard acceleration. Horrible build quality and most uncomfortable car for long distances and anyone over 5'7". Very safe car though. Friend rolled hers and walked away. Bad things: Wicked uncomfortable to drive for longer than 20 minutes. small brake pedal, built for small ppl, creaks and groans coming from everywhere, big control sticks DONT BUY IF YOU LIVE ON ANY TYPE OF HILL OR DRIVE ON AN EXPRESSWAY!!!

Bought in May 2002 with excellent financing deal. Two major drawbacks: Low resale value and engine problems. At 35,000 miles with just a 1000 to go on the warranty, my Saturn had a main gasket leak, and a leaking battery-- replaced with no hassle.Works great now, but I'm ditching it for a better than average Honda/Toyota sedan. Moves if you put the petal to the metal for work commute. Can always fit it in a parking space downtown.

If you don't care about cars this is the one for you. It basically gets you from point A to point B. I've inhereted my wife's 10th anniversary edition saturn as my commuter car and lost all enjoyment in driving. The car is reliable and has good fuel economy but that is about it. For anyone that commutes 4-5 hours/day the seats are very uncomfortable and they are too low to the floor, so if you have long legs your knees end up at your chest. I miss my fast V6 VW Jetta!
