Probably the most reliable car ive ever had the pleasure of owning. Good on gas and great for all the road trips i take. If they still made these cars, i'd buy another.
Great car

We bought our 2002 SL2 a little over 2 years ago it had 60,000 when we purchased it and now its at 124,000 and aside from the 3000 oil changes we have not had to replace anything except for new brake pads and a new set of tires. It has been such a reliable car I think I am going to buy another one. Just do the regular maintenance on it and it will do you good. Like I said maintain it I can't stress that enough.
Reliability at its finest

I have a 2002 Saturn SL1. It's my first car and I've been driving it for 3 years, my older sister drove it for 2 years before I acquired it. It currently has over 330,000 miles on it and I have to admit that it's doing great. We bought it used and the previous owner really babied it. The only repairs that had to be done to it at all since we bought it has been recent; the thermostat had to be replaced as well as the exhaust valve but that may have been my fault for not checking the oil which does tend to burn through very quickly. The only thing I don't like about the car is that you have to really gun it to get up hills, I don't know if that's just my car or if it's normal for Saturns.
I love this thing

I bought this car in in 2008 and have been driving it so much and I just can't complain. It's not a fancy car but it's super reliable. Manual tranmission is fun to drive if you know how to drive and when you realize how much it saves you. I have taught about 10 people how to drive manual transmission on this very car. A lot of them weren't gentle on it and yet it just won't break down. I currently have 130k miles on it and it just keeps on going. The only thing I've been doing for it is change of oil and I did change tires.
