Good Starter Car. — It was a good starter car for me when I got out of University and started to working. It had some style and Saturn was stil relatively new and so had some allure. But overall it wasnt too exciting to drive - infact bored silly.

Pros: affordable - decent style and gets you to where you want to go.

Cons: lack of power, overall feel was not solid rear seating room was very tight

A Great 'basic' Car With Amazing Dealer Service — Sparky the wonder Saturn was a great car... but he couldn't handle the roads I wanted to go on... traded in for a Jeep.

Pros: great price, service... blew away anything any of the imports had out at the time.

Cons: small.

Overall:

Good, Solid, Easy To Drive Car That Doesn't Need Much To Do What It Does. — Amazing car, especially for an automatic, tops off at 98mph stock when the ECU decides to limit the cars performance. Is able to handle windy, steep mountain roads as long as you've got decent tires installed. Looks like a granny-mobile, but is a sleeper for a twin-cammed four cylinder.

Pros: Good gas mileage and can handle mountain roads without too much effort

Cons: Is an automatic but otherwise a solid car
