Bought the $9995 special with air and am-fm radio.Using it as 3rd car as 16 year old son is driving my ford F150......This SL seems to be quieter than my '97 SL2. Using it mainly to go back and forth to work. Car has plenty of pep and darts in and out kinda like a go-cart. Seats sit too low...might not be too comfortable across country drive.....$10,000 won't buy much in a new car today but the only thing cheaper was a Rio...
Quality Car

2002 Saturn S-Series SC1 3dr Coupe (1.9L 4cyl 4A)

I had the 2001 SC1 Coupe and hated it. It had to be towed with only 1500 miles on it because the engine wouldn't turn over, except for lights, I had nothing. The panel under the dash on the driver's side kept falling off. After about 1,000 miles the engine became loud and annoying. I got rid of it after only a year and a half. I will never buy a Saturn again.
Fun, Reliable, Great MPG Car!

I am second owner of this vehicle, and very happy with it. I bought the car from a local Saturn dealer about 20,000 miles/2.5 years ago. (it now has 80,000) Aside from routine 3000 mile oil changes (at the dealer as I like to have the maint. records in 1 place,) I had the dried out looking fanbelt replaced. I also replaced the battery after 2 years.. ..not bad for Phoenix,Arizona! I also replaced wiper blades once. The auto transmission has no problems (also rare in the Phoenix heat) but I am planning a fluid flush/change soon. Air blows cold/no recharges needed (also not bad in PHX!) Sporty looking, plenty of power, hi mpg, very low maintenance costs! Very good value!
Great little car

I have had my SL2 for about 6 months now. Have put about 7k miles on it. Just last night, check engine came on, it is an O2 sensor. Other than that, it is a very smooth, comfortable car. I would drive this car anywhere. It has the 1.9 twin cam, 5 speed. I love the CD player in it, it sounds great. Will not switch it. It is at 73k miles now. Shifts smooth. Was hard to get used to, the shifting is different. Have a bit of an oil leak problem, idk if it is exactly leaking, but I am losing oil. The shop will be looking at it when they change the O2 sensor. I get about 40 mpg. 124 hp in a small engine like that? I love it. It has get up and go, gets on the highway great. Buy one.
