This is my first car, i bought it at 73,000k miles. After driving it 1500 miles the engine started to make a rattling noise so I took it to my dad's mechanic and he tells me the engine needs to be replace COMPLETELY. He asked me why I bought a Saturn, these are very unreliable cars and i would never EVER buy one again in my life. I went to see my car dealer and he also told me that the car needed a new engine, the SAME GUY WHO SOLD ME THE CAR ! ! My guarantee is over so my only choice is to sue him. If you are searching for a new car and you are 18-25 years old and you know nothing about cars THIS CAR IS A NO NO! NEVER EVEN CONSIDER IT, THIS IS A DISPOSABLE CAR ! !
Good luck getting over speed bumps!

I got this car a year ago, it has 15,000 on it from me alone so now its at 139,000. First there was a transmission leak, then tires had knots in them, then rear wheel cylinder leak, then rotors needed resurfaced but had to be replaced because they were "warped", then recently leaky crankshaft, and now power steering is leaky:( I hate my life because of this car, theres ALWAYS something wrong! I got it for $3,150 and already $1500 in maintainence!Everything has been breaking or leaking or needs replaced in the past few months. NEVER BUY THIS CAR!It ticks me off because on the carfax the past 3 owners had NO PROBLEMS and now im getting stuck with the bill. Too much stress from this P.O.S.!
Saturn is da bomb

If only Generals Motors built all other cars like this. I have had absolutely no problems with this car. Also, the dealership was unbelieveable. People are correct when they say that Saturn treats people like, well humans. The buying expierence was great. Saturn gets my highest reccomendation.

i bought thi scar because I needed a new car, my first new car. The over all the car is Ok. However, I have this car for 9 months and I already had two accedent, because of bad brakes. Both accedent was in a wet weather and I was driving 10 M/hr preparing to stop at the trafic light, and lost the brakes. Tires are bad and brakes don't help much in inclement weather.
Wow. Need I say more?

I was inspired by an ad on TV offering a limited edition SL for $9995 including air. Only one color, but it's very nice (Silver Blue). We were going to get a used car, but the financing on this one was as good as or better than we could have gotten on anything else. The car is a light- weight, but it drives great with the standard transmission. Kinda chugs when fully loaded, but functional. Hey, it's just a work car. Also, standard equipment better than the Achieva I bought 8 years ago (ie: dual airbags, rear window defrost are my favorites).
