Prosmileage, plastic body, fairly comfortable seating Consnear lemon in terms of build quality.

Good Idea Poorly Excecuted — The car is a good idea poorly executed. 70,000 miles and it uses a quart of oil every 700 miles and has from the get go, the dash rattles, dome light doesn't work properly. On the plus side the plastic body has held up well and it gets 38 mpg hwy. with an automatic trans. We have had 3 Saturns in the family and none of them have made it past 75,000 without needing serious repair. Oldest daughters 2002 SL1 need head replaced at about 50,000 miles. Youngest daughters 2004 Ion level2 just had a new engine put in at 75,000 miles and our 2001 Sl1 could use an overhaul. Primary Use: Family transportation

Road Blade — Twin Cam LLO engine creates a great power to weight ratio, wish it was a manual tranny. Runs amazing with great style and awesome gas mileage. With a MagnaFlow cat-back with an XL Turbo muffler (no ricer stuff here) and a AMR engineering tower bar on my list of mods to do (as well as swap trannys) it'll be an even more fun car to drive than it is now! | ||

Saturn Sc2 — Acceleration is not the best but it's relatively quick, and it has nice handling The interior is a standard GM interior for cars of its age. Fairly cheep, however durable. After you hit the 100K mark alot of repairs and maintenence issues become apparent The exterior styling is unique, you can't ever really decide if it looks great or horrible. It seems almost to be a domestic version of a sports car. Interior styling is horrible, Standard GM. Despite it's short comings it's still a zippy little car and is quite enjoyable to drive. | ||

ProsResilient ConsPower steering is rubbish

It's Served Me Well So Far, But I Can't Wait For A New One. — It's held up for eight years, but you have to strong-arm the wheel to get anywhere. The turning radius would barely clear Saturn ITSELF. Once you get to know its quirks and shortcomings, it's an all right car and will last you several years. Well, until the exhaust goes south and gaskets start coming loose.

ProsGas mileage, great starter car, faster than a civic lol ConsFront wheel drive, Diff pin slipping and shearing on manual, weak auto transmission

The Car Was Great, It Had A Lot Of Potential For A Fwd, I Wish I Had Kept It — This was a pretty nice car. It was light, all of the panels were plastic so no dents and the car would look good for years to come. For what it was the car handled pretty nicely, minus the torque steer. Gas mileage was excellent, it was cheap to maintain, and it was easy to work on Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||
