Overall, this has been an expensive and dissapointing car to own. The seat position is too low to the ground -- very uncomfortable. The engine performance is so-so. It may look sporty but the longish wheelbase makes the handling rather slow. In the past year I've had to replace wheel and axle bearings, cam cover gasket, accessory drive belt, rear suspension links, both front springs, trunk weather stripping and a number of other repairs costing over $3000 total. And I keep up with regular maintenance. The next time repairs exceed $200 I'm getting a new car. It won't be a Saturn.

I bought my wifes Saturn new in 2002. Within 2 months I had weather seal issues on the passengers door. Saturn fixed it under warranty over the next 4 years they also replace the HVAC fan, the sunroof, and a fuel injector. I found out they forgot to torque down the exhaust manifold after about a year. Since then I have had to fix the drivers side door weather seal. Know at 88K miles it needs new front wheel bearings, a rebuilt head timing chain and so much more. Over $1,400 in parts alone. This car hasnt made it to 100,000 miles yet.

This car ran head first into a jersey wall after being struck on the side by a tractor trailer. My daughter received MINIMAL injuries and though the car was totalled, I know the steel frames, etc., are what saved her from more injuries. The insurance company and police said it was an accident that would have been fatal in any other vehicle. Fun to drive, love the 3-doors.

Fun to drive; smooth manual shifting; very smooth ride; excellent stereo system; beautiful design; and georgeous bright red color; room for only two children in the back which means I don't have to haul everyone in the neighborhood or half the ball team.
Our 2nd Saturn

Our trusty 1994 SL1, lead us to look at Saturn again. We needed more power (for highway commuting) than the sohc, thus the purchase of the dohc/2 series. Dealer claimed fuel economy is same as 1 seriers(sohc)...not! I've had 47 mpg (imperial) from my automatic '94, yet 35 (also imperial) is best from my '02 (also automatic). CD stereo is far better than early Saturns. 4 snow tires are the trick in our, southern Ontario winters. Insurance is low.
