Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Sleek sporty look; fun to drive, reasonable price, customer service
Cons: Vision obscured rear driver side
The Bottom Line: Saturn SC2 is a great looking, fun to drive car, and at a very reasonable cost.
Saturn SC2 has been my vehicle of choice twice now. First of all, let me explain that I am not tech oriented, so if you want a perfunctory, tekkie type review, this will not be the one for you. Secondly, I had a 1999 Saturn SC2 prior to this one, and...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: It looks great, gets great gas mileage and has plenty of leg room.
Cons: The rear view mirror is placed REALLY low.
The Bottom Line: This is a safe, reliable car that provides a smooth, quiet ride. With 0% financing, why look anywhere else?
We needed a new car. Actually we needed two ~~ a new family car that holds all seven of us and a new smaller car. The reason we keep a smaller car is because we do A LOT of driving and if we were to do it all in the van, we would never be able to pay for...

Pros: Plastic Body
Gas Mileage
Solid suspension
Great interior design
Cons: Subpar acceleration (it is a compact car after all)
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a car that will withstand the test of time, and looking for better then average quality.
I have owned a SL2 since 11/01. The incentives on this vehicle after 9/11 were very good, and we got this car for under 1% APR for 60mo. The First thing that is great about this car is that throughout the 60mo. term you can expect no dings and ...

Pros: Reliable, relatively cheap, mostly comfortable.
Cons: Small back seat, bumpy ride.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car if you aren't too uppity about your vehicle. It's reliable and not too expensive.
In September of 2001, my husband and I were involved in a bad car accident. Luckily the only thing that died was my beloved Subaru. So, we were thrust into the realm of looking for a new car. We didn’t have too much time, as the insurance company was...

Pros: Reliable, High Quality, Inexpensive, Safe
Cons: Bumpy Ride, 4 cylinder not enough kick
The Bottom Line: A great car to have that you can depend on with great quality
What first brought me to purchasing a new Saturn last December was the fact that I had a 1996 SL1 that I gave to my girlfriend, and I wanted one just like it. Saturn has the highest loyalty rate out of any American manufacturer and in the top ten for all...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great gas mileage for a sedan, plenty of room to maneuver inside!
Cons: Can't fit a wheelchair in the trunk unless you put both back seats down.
The Bottom Line: You want your best bang for the buck vehicle out there, then this is definitely it!
Introduction
My wife and I were still driving around a totally beat up Datsun 79 280ZX which had well over 100000 miles on it. If I remember correctly it finally croaked out at about 180000. We decided (more like our old car decided) that we...

Pros: Low price and great financing. Lots of options for a low-end car.
Cons: A bit noisy. Cheap feel to the interior.
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a dependable car with a good list of options that won't break the bank, this is the car for you.
My wife has a 50-minute commute to work everyday and her Toyota Tercel was on its last legs. It was burning oil to the point that we kept a few quarts in the trunk to be added as needed. It also was a two-door and did not lend itself very well to...

Pros: Comfortable, spacious, driver friendly
Cons: none
The Bottom Line: Excellent buying experience, excellent product - why go elsewhere?
Shopping for a new car is something that always fills me with dread. Mental images of the pushy car salesman, the ones that try to tempt you into going over your price limit, that are simply after the sale, and don't care about your actual vehicle...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: awesome gas mileage, spacious
Cons: that I probably won't be able to drive this car forever and ever
The Bottom Line: I absolutely love this car and would highly recommend any Saturn automobile purchase. Saturn is definitely a different kind of company with an exceptional product!
To begin with, I have a bit of a history with the Saturn corporation. I bought my first Saturn back in 1996 or so (feel free to see my other epinion on that purchase) and ever since I walked into the doors of their facility that day, I have been a loyal...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good gas mileage, nice looking, polymer body panels, surprisingly punchy engine
Cons: Questionable quality on some interior parts, low rearview mirror, legroom
The Bottom Line: A good entry level car. Fun to drive, and easy on the gas whether you're on the highway or cruisin' the strip downtown.
The text below the ++++++ line is exactly how I wrote it for the past three updates. I've recently hit 40,000 miles into this vehicle, and have a couple more casual observations as the car has aged. First off, a few more squeaks and creaks have ...

Pros: Dent resistant side panels, decent sound system.
Cons: Not my truck, Small, too light for higher speed highways.
The Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a safe, reasonable priced vehicle for a young driver, this could be the one for you, stop in and check them out.
Three years ago this Memorial Day weekend 2002, I went looking for a new car for my then wife. This was a necessary purchase since the 1989 Pontiac Sunbird we had had a blown engine, and the 1992 Saturn SL1 was on it’s last legs so to speak. We ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Pros are that I am finally getting rid of it, and getting a REAL car.
Cons: Everything. I regret it every single time I have to get into it.
The Bottom Line: I NEVER buy one again, I won't ever buy an american car again, they simply cannot compete with japanese, german, british cars.
I had the misfortune of buying this car after mine died, and I needed a new one ASAP. My mother happened to be dumping it, and like a fool, i bought it off of her. This car sucks. It sucks so bad, that i've thought of taking it to a bad neighborhood in ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Decent low mid price car. Good gas mileage, decent looks, excellent leg room.
Cons: It's a Saturn, Short, low seats, indoor rain, little power
The Bottom Line: Ok if you have short legs and short funds. It's a good "step up" car, and looks good.
I bought this car as a dealer return, so I got a good price with a nice feature package. It was priced as a used car, despite being new as it was a return, and had less than 125 miles on it, so who could pass up that deal? It wasn't the color I ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sleek styling, everything works well. Excellent reliability. Saturn service.
Cons: Little headroom, fuel economy should be better. More road noise than there should be.
The Bottom Line: One of the few American marques that can rival the Japanese in overall reliability. They sell them in Japan, which should tell you something.
Since we owned a 1995 Saturn SC2 with well over 100,000 miles on it that had been to the shop exactly once in eight years of ownership, it was logical that we search the Saturn lot when the time came to get a new car. We found a silver SC2 with a ...

Pros: It's not costing me anything.
Cons: I have to drive it for another month
The Bottom Line: I will never be a Saturn owner
I'm not a Saturn owner... and hopefully I never will be. After the wreak that took the life from my VW Jetta (see my 2001 VW Jetta review for the whole story on that) I was given a white 2002 Saturn to drive (courtesy of Enterprise Rent-a-car and the...
