I owned three Fords in a row before I bought my Saturn. I especially liked my Escort ZX2 for it's sporty look and feel. What my Saturn lacks in "sportiness" it totally makes up for in the reliability department. I have had no major problems with this car. In fact, I've had nothing done but standard maintanence. This car starts on cold Wisconsin winter days with no problems, runs very smoothly, and is good on gas. I like the fact that it's not going to rust (another plus for Wisconsin winters.) I also love the fact that it's standard shift- -I hate driving automatics. My next car will be the Saturn Vue.

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.

drove through the smokey mountains very comfortably with plenty of power when passing from the DOHC 1.9 ltr. motor & trans seemed to opperate smoothly never guessing what gear to be in. i am very happy with our decision to buy a auto matic. handling seems ok, i plan on looking in to strut tower braces & different suspension to make it more sporty feeling. we found the interior comfort acceptable. overall after 4000 plus miles we are happy with our american made car...

This care has overall been a good car. The complaints I have are replacing the roters 2 times and resurfacing a third (and this is in 30,000 miles)time. Yes I drive a lot but that is still is way wrong!Also the front seat has some part that clicks in and out which is rather annoying.The maintence schedule is also very expensive. If you drive as much as I do, can be a big bill every other month. If anyone can let me know about the brakes on these thing and possibly how to make them better let me know! Well thats about it!

I got it as a gift. I changed the battery and put Z tires on it. It handles great! I had a Camry but the great gas mileage on the SL2 is Incredible. Mine has cruise control and I use it all the time! It has a sunroof and leather seats. If it wasn't called a Saturn it would be considered one of the best luxury sports cars on the road.
