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.
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.
Value Personified

If you want unmitigated perfection, you have to spend more than $14,000.00. But if you want reliable, comfortable, economical transportation so you can spend your money doing fun things, then the Saturn SL1 is for you. I am on my second, and between them have over 300,000 miles. I only got rid of my first one because of damage I induced. Great gas mileage, simple to keep up, and reliable. I like the manual transmission because I live in the mountains and I want control. Great car for people who don't need a ride to define themselves.

Bought the CAR NEW IN 2002. Back in 2007 a month past the 5 year warranty the time chain broke and I needed a new motor. Then the alternator went our the following spring of 2008. Then the winter of 2010 the alternator went out again. Now the Gas tank has a leak at the seam below the car. Getting that looked at tonight and the Air decides to not wanna work anymore and the freon is not working. Thank god my car was paid off in full in 2005. It's always been 300 or more sometimes thousands to fix when this car breaks. Only gets more expensive since GM did away with saturns...
