Pros: Price, outside styling, dash layout, gas mileage Cons: Too low to the ground, road noise, cheap fit and finish, steering poor. The Bottom Line: This car may look more stylish on the outside than others in the same class, but it seems really cheaply made.
I bought this car 2 years ago at a dealership after my 1991 Chev Cavalier was no longer worth fixing. This car has great gas mileage, but is very sluggish going up hills. A lot of road noise at higher speeds. Car is stylish ...

Pros: Gas Milage, 5 speed shifter, decent engine torque. Cons: Poor resale, seats not great. The Bottom Line: Good buy
Bought used 2002 SL1 to take place of my well used '89 chevy PU and doubled my gas milage. I first was looking at new and used Civic, Corolla and Sentra based on gas milage. Then discovered Saturn SL1 manual was rated at 40 MPG and gave one a drive at ...

Pros: GREAT mileage (40 mpg), easy & fun to drive, NO DOOR DINGS! Cons: Not much power up hills, but with only 100hp I don't expect that. The Bottom Line: if you need a great, safe, care free, dent free 40 mpg commuter car, buy this model. No more worries in parking ramps, or at the gas pumps.
This car was a blessing in disguise. In 2005 I bought a collectible car that I planned on using as a daily driver, but it wasn't something that I wanted to drive in the winter so I started searching for an inexpensive vehicle to drive in Minnesota's ...

Pros: Good mileage, easy to work on, good visiblity, cheap to own. Cons: plastic interior when cold creakes, cheap parts in interior design The Bottom Line: If your looking for a good reliable used car, maybe for one of your kids. You should seriously look a this model year Saturn.
My wife and myself each have a S series saturn, I have a SC-2, and she has an SL-2 both were bought new in January 2002. The SC-2 currently has 37,000 miles on it and it runs flawlessly, if I really baby the ride I can get 41 mpg, all of my miles are ...

Pros: fuel economy, interior comfort and space, reliability, safety, trunk space, keyless remote entry system Cons: ABS is optional, engine noise, no sunroof The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone who is concerned with an efficient and economical way to get around, it is a great car for commuting and taking road trips!
I wanted a Saturn since mid-1990's when these cars earned enough reputation to convince me that they are excellent cars and when a local Saturn dealership opened up. I didn't get a Saturn back then and instead got an older bigger car. Five years later I ...

Pros: No dents, Gas savings, Lots of room Cons: Lack of power The Bottom Line: Gas price is sky rocketing and teens get more violent on car doors :-)
I had studied Saturn SL1 for 4 months before I bought mine. I read almost every epinion about SL1 no matter what they hate or love the car. I picked 2002 because it is the last year of SL models (They got "ION" for the substitution.), they fixed most of ...

Pros: Fun car to drive, good on gas, great service and It's a Saturn!!! Cons: Backseat small, The Bottom Line: Hey, you gotta love Saturns. For service, they're excellent and the cars are great too. Buy one!
OK, I'm biased towards my Saturn. I love 'em. Traded in my 1999 SL1 for my new '02 SL1. I love it. Yeah, the Ion is all new and I'll probably buy one of those next time. The SL series has been a good one I think, reliable car, good looking, and the body...

Pros: Nice body style, overall good car Cons: none The Bottom Line: I would definitely purchase another Saturn in the future. This has been a great car so far.
I purchased my 2002 Saturn SC2 in April of this year. After all if you were planning on purchasing a new car within the year who would not want to take advantage of all those 0% financing options. I knew that I wanted a Saturn though, after a year of...

Pros: Everything! Cons: Firestone tires The Bottom Line: This is my second Saturn. I traded in my 1998 SL1 for the 2002 SC2. As a fleet manager and Saturn owner I highly recommend them.
The 2002 Saturn SC2 is a sporty and attractive vehicle. It has very nice lines and the 3rd door is very convenient. It has a surprisingly spacious trunk for being a coupe. The twin cam engine has nice pick up. Saturn has great color options. I've...

Pros: The car gets adequate gas mileage and it has dent resistent panels. Cons: The car is cheaply made and the rotors give out after a few thousand miles. The Bottom Line: Do not buy this car. It is cheaply made and will give you nothing but problems.
I wish, I wish, I wish I never bought my Saturn SC2 (the three door coupe). It's an overpriced piece of junk that has depricated faster than I thought possible within the last two years. I had to file a complaint against Saturn through the Better B ...

Pros: Low maintenence, good mpg, very dependable, durable, new v-6 Cons: battery and alternator problems, hard compact plastic body The Bottom Line: Saturns are very dependable, and a great choice when wanting to buy a new car!!
My family and I have been buying Saturns for the past 6 years, and the reason we started buying Saturns is because they were cheap and dependable, cause after all,we were a family of 10. We now have 4 saturns within our family, one 94, 2 97's and 1 01....

Pros: Incredible gas mileage, fantastic customer service and support, value!!! Cons: None known The Bottom Line: Saturn Rules!
I recently replaced my 1992 SL with a 2002 SL. I came back to Saturn for many reasons. One is the quality of the car. My 1992 had 204,000 miles on it and was still running like it did the day I got it. All I ever had to do was keep up with routine...

Pros: Sporty, Affordable, Beautiful Interior, Quiet, Dependable Cons: Leaky sunroof problem took 4 times to get fixed on the Special Edition SC2 The Bottom Line: The SC-2 is a must have car for Saturn fans. It's affordable, sporty, and reliable.
I am very pleased with the beauty, reliability, and smooth, quiet ride on this car. We purchased one in the Summer of 2002 and have been pleased ever since. The car looks like it is brand new even today and ride just as comfortably as when it was...
