Pros: Good looks, holds value
Cons: cheap looking seats, 4 more years of payments
My love affair with my saturn began in January of 1998. I really wanted a new Mustang Cobra, but this car was for my wife (now x-wife). We looked all over at all types of cars. My wife said "Lets look at Saturn." As we pulled into the...

Pros: Great quality, EXCELLENT service
Cons: A bit too small for a young family
Here's a testament to how much my wife and I love Saturn's - We've owned 5 in the past 4 years!
Despite having just sold our 1993 Saturn SL2 for reasons totally unrelated to the quality or our love of the car, I would like to still provide...

Pros: Reliable, great customer service, sleek looking
Cons: Its not a corvette
My parents bought me a used 1994 blue-black Saturn for a college graduation present. At first I was rather apprehensive as I had previously owned a Chevy Blazer and was more accustomed to a truck. This is definitely no truck or Corvette for that matter,...

Pros: Great on gas
Cons: Could be a little more roomy
I own a 1993 Saturn SL1. It's a great little car. In our part of the country, it only takes $8-10.00 to fill up the tank. A tank of gas seems to last for ever. I bought this car used and have had no major problems with it in the year I've had it.We owned...

Pros: Sporty look, Saturn Dealership, reliable
Cons: backseat not that comfy, rides a little rough
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a reliable, reasonably priced family car, the Saturn is it. They have many styles to choose from and they make buying one hassle free.
I bought my Saturn SL2 brand new in 1993. It was my first new car. Next year, my car will turn 10! It's amazing how time flies. First of all, I want to say that going to a Saturn dealership is nothing like going to any other car dealership. The...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: good value, good mileage, VERY SAFE!
Cons: doesn't turn on a dime
The Saturn SL1 is a great car! I bought it new in '95 and was completely happy with my purchase. It gets good mileage, it is relatively cheap to fix, it holds its value, the factory stereo was surprisingly terrific, it handles extremely well in bad...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great gas mileage, excellent visibility, dependable, inexpensive, attractive car
Cons: Very "plastic" interior, noisy engine, uncomfortable seats
The Bottom Line: My recommendation for the 1993 Saturn SL1 is favorable because overall it's a decent car but doesn't add up to Japanese vehicles such as Honda and Toyota.
I purchased my 1993 Saturn SL-1 in 2000. Having never owned a Saturn before, I didn't know what to expect. I was already apprehensive about buying an American vehicle. Saturn is a fairly new car company and I haven't known many people who have owned...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliability, comfort, style, smart interior, gas mileage and fun to drive quotient
Cons: Interior plastics, Small buttons on radio and motorized, automatic front seat belts.
The Bottom Line: Provided you do your research, get a CarFax report and take it to a good mechanic for an inspection, the Saturn SL2 will meet all your expectations.
My trusty Volvo 740 was not giving me the mileage I needed so, I started looking for a more efficient vehicle. I was dreading the move to a smaller car. I loved the comfort of my Volvo so, the thought of driving a small car conjured up images of life ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great handling, reliability, and comfort
Cons: Plasticy interior, noisy at highway speeds, no cup holders
The Bottom Line: I find this to be the most reliable car I have ever owned. It is a blast to drive.
I picked up my 1993 Saturn SL2 a little over a year and a half ago. It had 172,000 miles on it and I got it dirt cheap. I just needed a vehicle to go back and forth to work, and this fit the bill. The body and interior were in such good shape that I ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Great while it ran: healthy acceleration; decent factory stereo; comfortable on long trips
Cons: Engine went at 124k miles
The Bottom Line: Who wants an everyday family sedan which requires such scrupulous oil-checking to avoid major catastrophe? At least get a second opinion for recommended major engine work.
Because of my somewhat good experience, followed by my extremely bad one, I can't really give a reliability score based on the criteria here.
My sister purchased this very nice 1993 SL2 used in 1996; I inherited it for what she owed on it...

Pros: It is a safe car
Cons: The engine is not well built for cost-effective repairs
We purchased a 1993 Saturn SL2 from a Saturn dealer. We had been feeling very good about this purchase as we researched the safety tests and consumer reports and hadn't found anything pertaining to this vehicle. We purchased it for it to be our family...

Pros: Low Maintenance, Cost effective
Cons: 1.9 l engine, some road noise
As a student, my financial situation has always been the main factor in my purchase of automobiles. After extensive searching, I finally decided to go with something made by the relatively new General Motors company of Saturn. I looked and drove...

Pros: Roominess, 60/40 seats, salespeople
Cons: Pickup, lumbar supports really don't work
Going to a Saturn dealership was a very good experience. What was that? Someone actually had a GOOD experience at a car dealership? I've been to so many, I was pretty much jaded.
The SL2 caught my eye because of it's roominess. The four doors...

Pros: reliable, safe, comfortable
Cons: Not as ergonomic as it could be
The Saturn SL1 is a straightforward four-door sedan. The interior of the car is roomy, including a large trunk. The safety features of the car are excellent, making it a good choice for a family car. I drive my SL1 over 100 miles every day, and it...

Pros: Good Service Department
Cons: Repairs are expensive and all too frequent.
I purchased a 1993 Saturn SL1 from a Saturn dealer last year (May of 1999). The car was in good shape and appeared to be well maintained, also Saturn provided me with the service log on this car to prove that it had been maintained properly....
