My Saturn began falling apart when it was 2 years old. Everything that the dealer fixed (battery, wheel cylinders, brakes) had to be repaired again by another mechanic. At about 75000, the transmission began having problems. There has never been much power - the ac has to be shut off to get up a hill, the ride is rough, and the interior is extremely loud. I wrote a long letter to Saturn outlining the issues and received a pat "we cannot change the past but suggest that you have a current diagnosis at the local dealership." I will never buy another Saturn and certainly do not recommend them to anyone.
OK, but next time a Toyota

Overall, it's an OK car for going to and from work. Decent gas mileage. Was a college car and it was perfect-- reliable, cheap and good MPG. After college, it's still reliable, but it's showing its cheapness: Little things are falling apart. The interior rear door handles are flimsy, and it has a very rough ride. It still would be good for another college student, but not me.
Decent Car

I bought my Saturn new. Drives good lasted me a while. I have 177,776 miles on it. Would buy again. What I don't like are the anti-lock brakes. Too light of a car and skids easy and oil disapears. As long as I add oil I am good to go.
So happy about my first car!

After extensive shopping around and talking to people, I decided on the Saturn SL1 as my first new car. I am thrilled with my purchase; I have made a couple of long trips with my SL1 already with no complaints. I also got a fantastic deal with 0.12% financing; no other dealer could beat the price with all of the features I got. The salespeople were extremely helpful and not pushy. I have recommended Saturn to everyone I know who is in the market for a new car.
Not My Kind of Car

the engine has been very reliable, but everyone i know, including myself, has had to bring their s-series cars in for tranny work. mine happened to shave off 3 gears, the clutch had hot spots on it and it wouldnt shift smoothly. all at only a mere 24,000 miles of very soft driving.
