This was my first car. I'd be lying if I said I missed it. It was about as base as one could get a new car these days; manual windows and locks. I DID have A/C and a CD player though! Build quality was poor. This car was cheap to buy and certainly felt like it. It eventually met it's demise.

the acceleration is very good in my opinion, better than the old saturn we used to have. the brakes are smooth, and they don't jerk at all, and they are quick when pressed. handling is quite easy, steering is very good. not to hard or rough. build quality is ok. it needs some repairs like the rear window doesnt roll down. the battery did die once over the first year, but thats because it was used and it is 4 years old now, so it probably needs a new battery. appearance is what drew me to it. the electrick blue color, the unique shiny wheels, the leather upholstery. 6-disc CD changer (thank god). interior is much more modern than older saturns. love that the speedometer is the middle of the dash. gas mileage is good. only get gas maybe 2-3 times a week. it does need attention in the maintenance. it is very speedy and very smooth, and an all around fun car to drive.

Pretty good on gas milage for being a bigger sized car. its only a 4 cylinder and braking is pretty good. I barely have to put any money into it except for gas since i drive a lot but it gets around 25 mpg. overall its a fun car to drive i am the cars second owner i bought it from a family that bought it new. it currently has around 128,500 miles on it.
