Pros: Gas Mileage, Drives well in snow
Cons: Everything Else!
The Bottom Line: This car is a worthless piece of garbage that belongs in the city dump. Its fitting that mine sits there now.
Saturn has always tried to be innovative and ahead of the standard curve in manufacturing automobiles. The company started in the early 1990's, and still is a division of General Motors. While its ideas look good on paper, their products are way below ...

In May 1993, I purchased my first new car, a 1993 SATURN SL1 4 DOOR SEDAN. I was so excited to own my first new car, and with a new baby was reassured to have a reliable car. My father is a mechanical engineer and assured me that this was a safe car...

In 1996 my 1985 LeBaron was on its last leg. We were about to have our first child, so we needed to find an inexpensive, yet reliable and reasonably new (and hopefully attractive) car. Sounded like a tough order to fill. We looked around at small cars...

I never really intended to buy a Saturn.
I mean, really. I was looking for a truck. I had a $5000 down payment burning a hole in my pocket, and I was sure I was going to get a truck.
Then I found out how much trucks really are. Even...

I actually didn't buy my car. Originally my Kentucky grandmother's, it sat in her driveway virtually unused for 2 years after her stroke in 1997. My grandmother died last August, and, knowing I was going to be getting my driver's license soon, willed it...

Okay you're probably like I was about 2 years ago. After seeing those goofy Saturn commercials, I was like "Okay, what's the point? What the heck is a Saturn?" I heard about a friend purchasing a Saturn as well, and I wasn't the least bit...
