Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Great gas mileage, very reliable
Cons: very basic, not a luxury car by any means.
The Bottom Line: This is a basic car that does not have a lot of frills. It is VERY reliable and runs great. If you are looking for practical, buy it!
I must admit I really hate going to car dealerships and I detest car salespeople almost as much! When I moved to Kansas I left behind the most wonderful driving experience I have ever owned. A Black Acura 3.2TL. That is another review...........

Pros: Gas Sipper. Slick SL2 Body. Sunroof. Shiny. Suction Seats. Saved $$$$$
Cons: A/C makes it weak, Some think it's a chick car. What do they know.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this car because of the mileage. It's more reliable than neons, escorts, etc. and looks better too. Great body panels.
Yes. I call my Saturn a SL 1.5, you read correctly. This review is long, but informative and maybe interesting. I bought a 1995 SL1 that was in an accident. If the windshield were broken, or it was more expensive, I would have passed it by. The ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: styling, accessories, price, trunk size, 130MPH speedometer
Cons: cabin size
The Bottom Line: A good buy for the price
I can't say I know a lot about cars. This review will not cover mechanical or performance issues, but be taken from the vantage point of someone who's been on the road less than 2 years, and only logged 10,000 miles. Although I do body work, I know very ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: low price, great reliability, wonderful gas mileage
Cons: those damned cupholders :P, bad interior design around console area.
SATURN SERVICE!
The Bottom Line: Great, until they try to fix it.
Okay. I admit it. When I first when shopping for my "new" car, (my 1988 Mercury Tracer, had finally died its last death), I wanted something with a little sex appeal. I was lusting after a Toyota Celica that was about $3,000 out of my price range, when...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: durable, great service, friendly sales people
Cons: none
When shopping for my first new car back in 1995, I had run into some snags along the way. I had been driving a 1988 Chevy Cavalier, that had died, and I was stuck in a college town, living off campus, with no means of transportation.
I went to...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Durable, affordable, others trust Saturn
Cons: Pregnant women might want to beware of the models with bold colors.
We purchased our 1995 Saturn in 1995; and the former owners had driven it the prior year as a dealer car. I love my Saturn. I didn't always love the color of it, though. I was 3+ months pregnant and very nauseous when my husband and I decided to test...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Maintenance free; Attractive; Very affordable
Cons: Noisy engine, uncomfortable seats
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to most anyone seeking a car in its class. I haven't regretted my purchase for a moment.
I got my Saturn SL-1 at the end of my freshman year of college, in 1995. I loved, and still do love, this car, and am still driving it. My affection for the car, though, has not made me lose sight of several saturn shortcomings.
In the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sporty ride and steering
Cons: Would be better with manual trans.
This is a very easy-to-live-with car. That means that it's an excellent daily driver. However, there are a few gripes that I must disclose before I rave about it.
The seats are probably the least comfortable bucket seats that I have tried....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Safety, Reliability, Affordability
Cons: Not too powerful, a little noisy
* the basics
I purchased my 1995 Saturn SL-2 when I was working my way through college, so it was important to find an economical car--one that didn't cost too much to buy, and wouldn't cost too much to own (originally, I wanted a used one, but I...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Inexpensive to buy new. Friendly sales department.
Cons: Poor service department. Car loses value rapidly.
The Bottom Line: The Saturn Family is what it is, a marketing ploy. Do not think otherwise. The sales department is a thin veneer covering the pitifully poor service department.
My wife and I bought a Saturn SL1 in December of 1995 for $11,900. The car was used, but it had been driven only 8,591 miles at the time of sale. This was our first car bought together as a young married couple. We thought we had gotten a fair...

Pros: good mileage,reliable safety framework
Cons: noisy,lousy defect correction,
I purchased my Saturn used in 1997. I was driving past the dealership and
saw a plum colored car. Any shade of purple is my favorite color. After a couple of trips past I stopped to look. Went for a test drive, read the articles on the safety...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good looks, GREAT mileage, good handling.
Cons: Difficult trunk, cramped interior.
The Bottom Line: Recommended for smaller people or people without cargo or passengers.
I bought my 1995 Saturn SC-1 Coupe used with 29,000 miles a little over 3 years ago and have mixed feelings about it. There are certainly good and bad experiences, but all in all I think the good outweigh the bad.
Saturns are very reasonably priced...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: This car has lasted six years and almost 140,000 miles and is still ticking.
Cons: Not much room in the back seat. Ours has
straight drive transmission
The Bottom Line: This is a great car for one or two people who plan to drive it a lot and want it to last forever, with good mileage and low maintenance.
We own a 1995 Saturn SL2 45, which is driven primarily by my husband. I avoid driving it if at all possible, because I prefer an automatic transmission. I also would prefer a larger car to ride in, but this one has many good points.
In 1995,...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: dependable, efficient, easy and cheap to maintain.
Cons: a bit small, low seats, ride is a bit rough
The Bottom Line: Recommended if: previous owner(s) have maintained the car (oil changes!) and keep up the maintenance yourself, you should have a cheap, reliable and trouble-free ride
I bought my 1995 Saturn SW1 new, with 4 km's on the odometer. It has A/C and cruise control as the only options. It has a 5-speed manual transmission. The car currently has 345,000km and is 9 years old. I haven't babied the car and it's been well ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliable, cheap, sharp looks, good handling, ABS brakes
Cons: Sits very low, uncomfortable for long trips, Automatic and 4 cylinder combination is very slow.
The Bottom Line: Recommended as a second car or a teenagers first car, because it's cheap, reliability, low operating costs, and slow enough not to get one in trouble.
My 1995 Saturn has served my needs very well. It has 108K miles on it and never had a major breakdown. The only things that have gone wrong with it are the alternator (replaced for $300) and the automatic transmission selector lockout solenoid (replaced ...
