I have had this car for about 3 months and its great!! I love the service and the fact it's economical on gas. I feel safer having my baby in this car than any other one. Great safety features and warranty.
Excellent med. size car

I have owned many cars in my life, many have been expensive. I am now retired and find this saturn excellent. I have only had it for nine months but have never taken it in for work except oil changes. Very good at high speeds and will keep up to most cars. Excellent

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.
Check your oil!

If you purchase this car, make sure you check your oil frequently. The car gobbles up oil like it's going out of style. And, if you're not careful it can lead to huge problems. I blew an engine at 88,000 miles. And yes, I did change the oil every 3,000 miles (or less). Overall, would I buy a Saturn again? If I didn't have the money to buy something better, I guess I would. It still looks good and with a brand new engine (and AC, cluth, alternator, and a few other things ) it's running like a champ. 'Course I do need to make sure I keep track of the oil.

This is a very noisy vehicle. Wind noise and road noise make it impossible to talk normally or listen to the radio at normal levels. 5-speed manual is clunky and hard to shift. Occasionally pops out of gear.
