Pros: Reliable, fuel-efficient, fun to drive
Cons: Loud engine, small interior
When my husband and I married, we both brought a used car to the marriage. His car died within months of the wedding. However, this wasn’t much of a problem. We still had my 1985 Mercury Lynx and having only one car simply gave us more time to be...

Pros: Sporty, good gas mileage, quite hard to dent!
Cons: too S-L-O-W for a "sports coupe"
The Bottom Line: It's a great car for the money. it makes an excellent first or second car. sporty!
If you want a sporty car for a great price then Saturn is for you. I bought my 1994 SC1 last January at 98,800 miles, after driving it for 3 months, I still like it! The SC1 is a great car for the money although it does have its ups and downs, but no...

Pros: Very affordable, reliable, distinctive
Cons: Small, not much power
The Bottom Line: The '94 Saturn SL1 is a great little car -- affordable, reliable, and fun to drive.
We bought our '94 SL-1 brand spanking new (13 miles on the odometer) in late 1993. We had been looking at Corollas, Civics, Prizms, etc., and were disappointed in what was available for the price. We stopped at the Saturn showroom on a whim and fell in...

Pros: Great looking car, easy to drive
Cons: Noisy, subject to annoying yet minor problems
The Bottom Line: Easy to drive, reliable except for little nagging things, but TOO small!
In July 1994, I was 5 months into a very tough pregnancy. My husband and I had decided when I got pregnant it was time to replace our old car, which was, believe or not, a 1982 Chevy Chevette (you can see we don't get new cars much!) However, when we...

Pros: Just about everything is good
Cons: Can't really think of any
We bought our 1994 SL2 when it was a year old. It had been a lease - rental and had 8,000 miles on it at the time.
It now has 112,000 miles on it. In the 6 years we have had the car, it's only major problem was the catalytic converter going...

Pros: Reliability, Inexpensive, Great Auto Dealers
Cons: Engine Weak, Road Noise
Graduating from college in '97, I needed a reliable car that would last my 5 long and arduous years at Grad School. After some consideration, and reviewing my microscopic budget, I decided to purchase a used car. I wanted a sporty looking car that would...

Pros: attractive design, reliable, fair cost, good gas mileage
Cons: no room in the back seat, leaky window couldn't be fixed, hard to resell
My husband's first car out of grad school was the Saturn SC2, red, in 1994. He picked me up in it for our first date and I was impressed with the car (it's the car I wanted to buy but couldn't afford). We had a lot of sentimental attachment to it but had...

Pros: Fun and functional
Cons: Small back seat
I was finally able to afford a brand new car way back in 1994. I had always relied on Toyota in the past. My mother had nothing but good things to say about her Camry, and I loved my '79 Celica, but a Toyota, even the smallest new one was out of my...

Pros: handling, speed, exterior, and solid
Cons: none
Whatever you've heard in the past about American-made cars being of
lower-quality and poor reliability, get ready to toss those thoughts out
the window. My 1994 Saturn SL2 has proven to be a car of outstanding
reliability. I bought...

Pros: Saturn buying experience, fun to drive
Cons: Not reliable, flimsy interior construction
I purchased my 1994 Saturn SC2 new. I had read good things about the car and the company itself. I expected to get a reliable, steady, and well built car. I didn't get all that I wanted. (by the way, I traded in my SC2 for a 2000 Mazda MPV. Check out my...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: was a new car, the dealership was nice
Cons: unreliable, was glad to get rid of it.
The Bottom Line: The bottom line is this: If you want a car to have to work on a lot then this is it. Other than that stay away from them.
When I totaled my car and was car shopping. I wasn't expecting to get a new car. I was 18 on my own for the first time and had just started a new career. But since I was living with my friend and her parents (a long long story lol) I trusted them to go...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: great reliability
virtually indestructible!
good fuel economy
Cons: a little underpowered
handling is OK, but could be better
no rain gutter above door
The Bottom Line: This little car has been the best investment i've ever made!
I bought my 1994 saturn SL1 in 1996, intending solely to drive it until the new beetle became available. I still have it in 2005, so you can see my plans changed. this was mostly because my poor saturn suffered 4 cosmetic injuries in the first 2 ...

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: loose steering, low ride, double seat belts
The Bottom Line: Good choice for economical second car
I just inherited a Saturn with 54,000 miles on it. I already have more miles than that on my 2004 Outback, and with gas prices soaring, I titled the Saturn. In my first 2,000 miles I'm getting 34mpg, so I'm relieved. The muffler blew in the first ...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: I wish mine had come with power windows and locks.
The Bottom Line: I love it, and I'm sure if you got one, you'd love it too.
I got a 1994 Saturn SL1 as part of my 18th birthday present. We weren't even looking for a Saturn, I was just looking at cars. I preferred a Toyota or a Honda, just because of the reliability. So when I stopped by this car dealership and saw this cute ...

Pros: fuel economy, low maintenance
Cons: exterior wear, cramped back seating
The Bottom Line: In spite of these issues, this is a great car to own, especially if you're more concerned about functionality than appearance.
This car is great for those of you who are looking for a low-cost vehicle that doesn't look or feel ...
