I just bought my first car, an Saturn SL1, and I haven't ever driven any car better than this babe. This car is inexpensive, but has the excellent quality. Its good 4 cylinder engine, gets up the speed and its quick and nimble when need be. Over the other cars i have driven in this price range, like the Ford Focus, the Protege, I think Saturn tops the list. Just think about it, how many recalls have there been on the Saturn SL1, but there has been so many recalls on the Focus that I have lost count! Besides that its not every year or two that your Saturn looks obsolete, it keeps its newness longer than other cars in its class. Good Saturn you're the best!!!

A practical car, economical (44 mpg on highway),fun to drive. Appears larger than it is due to the sedan styling. Strongly recommend for commuting.
Cheap but good

For the money this is an excellent car. It does not perform nor is it as quiet as a more expensive car. However, compared to other subcompacts, it matches up quite favorably. It is one of the few inexpensive cars that you can get ABS and traction control without having to buy an expensive package. for around town driving, which is what I use this car for, it is a good buy.
SC 2 Great Car

This is a great car for its purpose. I bought it for one thing, mileage. Sure, the plastic is cheap and the seats stink but argue with 42MPG? Stick shift is a must to get the engine's power and economy. I wouldn't want this with a slushbox. The car has 106K on it but tracks very true, no wander or pulls. Brakes are very good with almost no fade. And even with cheap, skinny tires, it handles very well with minimal body roll through the twisties. I get a few drips through the weather seals but not enough to care about. And contrary to other reviews, the A/C blows ice cold air, even at 85+ deg I can't leave it on the coldest temp or it freezes us out. Pretty amazing little car.
