Great for the budget minded
This has been an excellent car for me, firstly I really like its simplicity, no gps, power seats, etc. Less to break in my experience, it has been very reliable. The simplicity also makes it very fun to drive because it is small and uses plastic body panels it is very nimble, while not really fast, it remains a blast to drive. I like its sporty looks as well, while sporty its not over the top and doesn't draw attention from law enforcement. While materials are definitely low end they don't seem to break or fall apart often and when they do are quite easy to repair. Lastly the fuel economy is excellent, I get 32-36 mpg on regular basis, which puts a lot of extra money back in my pocket. By the way I once fit two 8 foot 2x4's in the car by folding down the back seat and letting one end set on the dash and the other in the trunk.

Reliable
My Saturn is 13 years old and has been a reliable, trusted source of transportation for over 9 years. The engine noise is rather loud compared to other vehicles. However, the engine itself has required little maintenance other than regular oil changes and winterizing. It handles beautifully in snow, of which we have a moderate amount in the winter. Even with heavy snowfall, the front wheel drive keeps it in control. I would purchase this car again and again if they still made them.

I have owned and driven this car for the last 8 years. I bought it from a Saturn dealership as a certified pre-owned car. I have driven it all over the country, making 3000 mile trips twice with no breakdowns. I've never had to replace a major engine part, only minor repairs and maintenance. However, the interior is as cheap as it could possibly be and I have had problems with rain leaking into my car for almost the entire time that I've owned it, despite attempts to fix this problem. Everyone makes fun of my car because it “rains inside” but I've never had it break down on me. Piece of the inside have broken off, any kind of knob or button. The lights on the inside are out and the ceiling has been falling down for awhile now but that's most likely due to the rain that gets inside. I've also had to replace both window motors and half of my sunroof won't automatically close, I have to use a screwdriver to manually close it. I got this car for college because I knew I would be making the 100 mile trip home many times during school. This car has definitely served it's purpose but the interior was so cheaply made I can't imagine how much I would like this car if the interior held up as well as the engine has.
