"I bought mine over 2 years ago with only 32,000 miles on it. It gets good mileage and more than enough get up and go without worrying about getting tickets all the time. Not rusting is also a good point seeing as I am in the northeast. It has been a nice little car for me but I am thankful I do not have to carry passengers in back seat often as they are very small. I still love the looks of the car and have been satisfied. Main drawback is finding some parts that have to be Saturn parts as some cannot be just generic parts."

"I have a Saturn SC2, purchased for my daughter 3 years ago (With 143,000 miles on it!). I have been driving it, as she is in college and not allowed to have a car her freshman year. I absolutely love it!! It is comfortable to drive, gets incredible gas mileage, and it is really cute. I get 40 mpg on the highway! I am currently looking for another one for me, as she'll be needing hers soon. I have four Mustangs, but this little Saturn is my daily driver! (Currently 175K on the SC2 - and still runing strong."

"The vehicle works great for her and what works for her works for me.. Thanks.. The vehicle was a one owner car, maintained by vehicle owner father and had never been in an accident. Paint and tires were excellent. Had no floor mats and seller knocked off one hundred for floor mats and an oil change. Engine sounds great with little valve noise. Was driven by a non-smoker to school each day."

"I bought my SC2 new back in '02 while I was in college, granted it's not a flashy car, BUT in the seven years I've owned it it hasn't broken down a single time. It's a small car, I'm 5'9 and it's ok for me in the front seat but I hate sitting in the back. This car was victim to a pretty major highway traffic accident a few years back and the HP officer told me that had I not been in a Saturn (with it's plastic body), the force of impact would have broken all the windows and been much worse for me than it was. Knowing that my little blue car will always start when I need it to is a big relief for a single gal living alone on the west coast... I'm VERY sad to be seeing the Saturn brand closed down."

"My first was a 1996 white SC2.. Loved it so much that when it got totaled in an accident I purchased another. A 2002 red one. I am a fan of the stick shift (they both are) The stick made it fun to drive and felt sporty. I was very happy with the reliability of this car, started every time, never had any problems with them. The ONLY reason I traded it in was because being at the age of 50+ I found it difficult to get in and out of. I purchased a larger car, but I will miss my little Saturn!"

"I've actually owned two of these cars (a 2001 and 2002). I've used one as a regular car, just going to school and work. The gas mileage is incredible. I average about 35-37mpg, even though it says 29/36. The other I have been very rough with, carrying heavy loads, filling up the backseat/trunk with machinery, liquids, etc. I've not had a single problem out of either. Mechanically, they are super little cars. The third door is a nice feature for someone who plans to haul people or things a lot."

My Red Saturn SC2 Coupe purchased at 24,000 Miles

"I really love my 2002 Red Saturn SC2 Coupe so far it has been really reliable and when I purchased this vehicle it had the works and the owner took great car of it. For what it gets for great gas mileage unlike other competitors out there this vehicle has been really different and it get noticed more than the common car such as the Malibu or whatever the case maybe. The seats can use a little work I will admit to it since the leather seating was not really an option for me but I preferred the cloth as opposed to leather. The power should be what I expected than the SC1 which really lacked a bit so it better off on a SC2 with the extra power when getting on the high way. I saved a lot on gas on this vehicle like no other as opposed to my 1989 Corsica. There is one thing is that there is a noise somewhat whiring, but it really minor which not really bothersome as long as music is played in the vehicle. Saturn is making vast improvements on their vehicles so I am glad that I invested in a Saturn and I would invest in another one. I hope this really help out a person out investing a sporty and yet racing appeal look... much bigger than the Chevy Cavilier and better mechanical setup."
