I ordered this car from the manufacturer and have had good things to say about it. I have lowered the car, put new rims and tires on it, and turn heads as I fly past. It has almost 30,000 miles on it and have had no mechanical problems with it. A kick panel fell off, and the leather on the headrest came out from underneath. They were simple things to get fixed.

I drive this car 110 miles of high- speed road twice a week and about 50 miles a week in town. Gas mileage average is 29 mpg. First Saturn was a 1995 SL2 identical to this one. Sold it with 80,000 miles and only replaced an alternator at 70,000 miles. The 1995 was an excellent trouble free car. Can't say the same for this one. Replaced heat shield at 25,000 miles,tires at 24,000 due to the noise under the car at highway speeds, brakes squeak, shoulder harness squeaks, idles at 1800 rpm (dealer said this is normal)? Depreciation on this car is awful, probably due to poor quality control. Will not own Saturn #3.

The 2000-2002 Saturns are the best looking and best designed yet. They share all the same chassis and drivetrain as the 1991 Saturns, but fine tuned. I have at this time a 2000 SW2 wagon with an autotrans. I also have two 2001 SL2's. Mine is a bright red limited edition 5-speed and my wifes is the limited edition bright silver 10th Anniversay Sedan. All are great cars that soar above all other Cpmpact cars except they could use another 25 horse power.
more than pleased

Bought this instead of more expensive Civic or Accords, also looked at offerings from Kia Hyudai. While overall quality was slightly under that of the Honda, it was about $5000 dollars less, and gets better mileage. Car feels more substantial than Korean cars which were priced similarly. Recomend the 5 speed trans for this as well as all other 4 cyl models as engines don't develop enough torque to make auto trans work right. Go for the SL2 over SL1 as DOHC engine performs way better with about the same mileage. All in all I can say I am happy with the purchase.
Love my car

I love this car and everything about it. The only thing i have that it needs is a little more power to make it up the hills. But that is it. Over all i love this car and everything about it. It is a safe and fun car.
