1999 Saturn S-Series -

I've driven 150,000 miles in my '99 Saturn since I got it(total mileage is just about over the 200,000 mark now) and I would say, you get what you pay for is sometimes not a bad thing. GM sold a lot of these cars and they're available for very little money in most cases. what you get is a simple and unpretentious car that is cheap and simple to maintain, and will stay on the road for tens or hundreds of thousands of miles without much fuss. My Saturn has the manual transmission, which goes a long way to making up for the otherwise economy 1.9l engine both in terms of enjoyment to drive and quickness. There's nothing flashy about it and it wont turn heads, but the drivability, fuel economy and low price of ownership and maintenance combine for a very solid little car.

Story

Although it is a low ground clearance economy sedan I've taken it on several great and memorable trips on unimproved roads many miles into the back country. Pulling up to the trail head in the deserts of the American southwest 25 miles from the last pavement in a little economy sedan when the only other vehicles that dared the journey were lifted SUVs and jeeps has always brought a smile to my...

Pros

Great fuel economy for an 18 year old car. My much newer hybrid civic gets about the same highway MPG. Parts and maintenance are very cheap, and the car in general doesn't require much in the way of maintenance to keep it running in good condition. Good amount of interior and trunk space for a compact economy car.

Cons

Slow. It's a 18 year old economy car, and while I never feel nervous about executing a merge or lane change on the highway it certainly wont knock your socks off with its acceleration. Bare bones on the features. Some trim levels have more, but my Saturn came with manual everything, and only AC and a CD player.
