This Car gets great gas mileage!!!! There's not a whole lot of room for tall people. But with that said, this really is a great car!! The gas mileage alone makes up for the lack of room in the back for tall people!!Jun 24, 2013

Good, reliable car, no mechanical expenses except maintenance for 9 years. A few age related problems in the past year. It is still cheaper than car payments. I would buy this car again and am saddened that they have announced the end.Sep 14, 2010

Great gas mileage. Reliable and runs very high mileage with little to no problems.
Cheap to buy and insure, Great first car. Fun to drive if it is a manual. It takes of quick but has trouble at high end acceleration if you have more than 2 or 3 people in car. Aug 06, 2010

This is a good everyday driver and has a lot of room for everything. Has plenty of power and then some. It is better then a minivan or SUV. This car has been a pain in my ass because of it being a Saturn parts had to ordered from GM and even when you give them the specs they screw up the orders. Parts are hard to come by with this being a v-6. They did not make many with the v-6 which made the insurance the same as the Mustang. Jul 25, 2010

Nice car. Its a Saturn and I like that. Very smooth ride.. but a bit loud when accelerating. Nice stereo system and of course a very sleek car since its a Saturn.. Overdrive was not working when I drove it.May 15, 2010

It squeaks, rattles, and it's slow as hell, but it won't break down and never, ever asks for much.
30MPG. It's cheap to run, but not fun to drive. It was free, so I can't complain. It's decent, but not good for fast driving. If you want fast, just find something else, this is a cheap little runabout that gets me where I need to go.Mar 08, 2010

durable, easy to maintain, reliable, good value, good fuel economy. handling is good, braking is good, acceleration is fair. exterior is nice, interior is simple. no major repairs that i'd have to go to the dealership for. it's been good for the 5 years i've had it!Nov 18, 2009

This is not a car built for long distance driving but more for city driving. Even for that, the car was full of problems after two years of ownership. Once the warranty ran out it got worst. My maintenance and repair costs went off the roof to the point that I almost just left the car in the garage to buy a new one (which I did anyways a few weeks afer that.
The only 3 good things I can say about this car was that it always started in the cold Quebec winters , gas milage was decent and the interior was ok. Although you sat very low to drive.

THis thing performed pretty well for a Saturn. It was a great car. It looked absolutely beautiful, and had fantastic gas mileage, which made it cheap. I guess it was kind of fun to drive. I would still have it if I wasn't such an idiot and wrecked it.Sep 28, 2009

I loved my Saturn. It was a wagon, yea, granny car... but it got me around. Nearly 40/gal, Smooth ride. Super performance for a 1.9 4c. I wish i still had that car sometimes. I only ever had one problem with it. Too bad, so a good car. Had power everything, comfy, economic. Sep 15, 2009

Nice Engine, good rust protection. Good gas consumption.
Lacks fit and finish. Slap bigger rubber and it's a lot of fun to drive. Price was good for the acceleration, gas consumption, and the rust protection. Even has an oil life monitor. I even joined the local autocross club and did well with this car.Aug 10, 2009

Runs great have had it for 40000 miles, Twin Cam is relatively peppy with a few mods, fresh air intake, trick the air temp sensor and hotter plugs and wires. Quick handling, has stabilizer bars on the top and bottom of the chassis.Jul 17, 2009

100+ ft lb torque and 125 horses with a 2500 lb.car is more than enough power, matched with a 5 speed I can get 43 mpg hwy. Haven't taken any long trips yet so hope to up the mileage. It's a nice little car, not fancy, but, hey if I wanted fancy I would have bought something else. Just wish GM would have kept their fingers out of Saturn, maybe cars like these would still be available. (less expensive, good performing, reliable & durable) Bought mine in '07 at 64,000 miles & know 200,000 is doable, shooting for 250,000+. If I had the cash, I'd get another one for when this one finally wears out! Jan 28, 2009

handling is excellent, brakes on a dime. little rust at acceleration on the lower end, but very nice on top end. i havnt had any problems with this car, change the oil every 3000 and check all the other fluids, and she still runs like a champ! she is pretty clean inside and out aside from a few of the normal rock chips on the exterior. shes get 36 city and 40 hwy mpg, definatly helps with the bank account! overall satty is a very fun car to own and drive, only 2 things could make her better and that would be a manual tranny and a sunroof.Jul 22, 2008

Gets decent gas mileage, been reliable, parts are fairly low cost for the most part, pretty decent acceleration for a 4-cylinder car, steering is pretty responsive, when it needed repairs they were pretty easy to perform myself, the car looks pretty decent, the only thing I really dislike is some of the interior components are kinda cheap, but not too cheap to keep me away from buying another one. And the car is definitely safe.Jul 20, 2008

I had a gold 2000, Saturn S-Series. I had won a law suit, because I had gotten hit by a truck, and when I was able to get my bearings again, which happened 6years later. I bought a car. A new car. I deserved something new. I already had someone else junk ie. the Ford Maverick, now it was time for me to get something new. I incurred the Ford Maverick by getting hit by a car, now I got this by getting hit by a truck, how ironic huh?Jul 05, 2008

I was just about to move to Los Angeles with a new job and my Mitsubishi Eclipse was starting to have issues and I didn't want to have to worry about anything breaking down on the drive there or while there. I knew I needed to get a good, reliable car. It fits that bill. There's nothing special about it, it always ran smoothly, I never had to take it in for anything other than an oil change.
One time I was driving a group up the hills of Malibu with 4 people in the car. It made it fine but was whining about it. When I moved back to Omaha, I filled it all the way to the top with clothes and monitors and other belongings. When climbing one of the steep grades getting out of CA it was working so hard and I kept losing speed. I eventually made it over the hill but was concerned for a period.Mar 21, 2008

We just bought the car this past week and so far I like it better than the old Volvo. The seats have lumbar support and are fairly comfortable. It's an all-cloth interior and the dash is a weird military green color...lol. Acceleration is majorly different between this and the old car, but the gas mileage is ten times better. I put $10 in about a week ago and i'm still not empty. I love that it has a cd AND and tape player, because i like to use my iPod with the tape deck. :) So far, so good.Feb 17, 2008

It gets great gas mileage after 8 years...I'm still getting a little over 30 miles to the gallon! I'm having some problems with the exhaust system, but nothing too huge. Handlings great, engine running very well. Not a lot of rust for a Buffalo car either! Very reliable.Dec 31, 2007

This little car got me through college. I put 70000 miles on it in four years! Back and forth Tampa to Orlando, Canada, Northern Virginia, and an Epic Road Trip. Never had a major maintaince issue, it was passing Virginia State Inspections it had problems with. The cost of passing the next year was more than my little Saturn was worth, so twas time to say goodbye.Nov 08, 2007
