I had attended a Saturn demonstration several years ago and came out asking which would be better: working there or buying a Saturn? From the instant we drove it, I was hooked. The car drives well and has a very appealing design, inside and out. It is easy to maneuver and takes curves and corners well. Maintenance has been minimal as has recalls. This leads me to believe that the vehicle was quality controlled well. A definite plus was the hybrid feature. It did take a little getting used to to not hear the engine when stopped but miles per hour definitely increased from our previous vehicle, a Lincoln Mark VIII. The inside of the vehicle is comfortable for long drives and the dashboard has easy access to all instrumentation. The stereo and the auxiliary input both perform well and we have had no problems. The glove and middle seat compartments are easily reached and are roomy. We had to consider the trunk size since at the time, I was toting a synthesizer in its case, as well as music, a stand and a speaker. The Saturn satisfied this requirement with no problem.

I really like the reliability that my car has provided me. The car is really well made and has been able to keep up with my rough driving habits. I have had this car for about seven years and have put around 130,000 miles on it, and it still runs very well. It has taken me road trips across the country with up to four other people comfortably. Even with 150,000 plus miles on the vehicle, it has definitely not degraded in driving quality. With regular maintenance and care, the car has outperformed my expectations, and I hope that it will continue to do so. I really like the spaciousness that the interior of the car affords and the size of the trunk to haul things for long road trips. I am able to permanently keep two foldable lawn chairs in the trunk at all time and still have room for all of the other things one might need to put in a trunk. The exterior of the car has held up extremely well as well even with the harsh Michigan winters that can beat a car up.
