This car is not a good car at all. I had so much trouble with car I would never recommend this car to anyone.

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 have owned this car for about 7 years now and have only had to replace the basics. I think I have gone through a set of brakes, a few batteries, and just one set of tires. The car gives good gas mileage; it doesn't take a lot to fill up the gas tank. I like the interior. I have brown leather and it is fairly easy to clean. I have a few scratches that developed over time on the outside, but I have been able to get most of them out with store bought scratch remover. I like that it still looks newer even thought it is an older car to some. I have a nice amount of trunk space. Since having a daughter we go on trips at times and I have enough room for her toys as well as our clothes. Since the car is GM based I have not had a problem with replacing parts and things like that.
