My 1995 Saturn SC!

I have a 25 year old Saturn SC 1 which I bought right out of the show room, and since then, knock on wood I have never ever had a major problem with this car. It has travelled far and wide, and feels the same to handle as it did the day I drove her off the lot. If I have to mention a problem or two, I'd say first the "Check Engine" light keeps coming on. I've taken her to 3 mechanic's and none of them could fix the problem, so I just ignore it. And with that come problem number 2. Namely it is hard to find parts. GM Canada has next to none, and since there are no longer an Saturn dealerships, there's no parts or factory trained mechanic's to repair this one and only problem. My mechanic is a wiz, but this one has him stumped big time. I love my Saturn whom I've named Suzi, after a girl I know, and won't let her go. She's been more than good to me, and I try and do my best for her. Looking forward to another 25 years of comfortable and enjoyable driving.

Gas Sipper

I bought the car for one thing, gas mileage. I think this car is basically under the radar in terms of people knowing about the great gas mileage. My first tank shows 34.9 MPG in city driving! It is slow, but you really don't need anything fast in rush hour traffic. I'm very impressed so far. Take it easy on the gas pedal and the car will return excellent numbers! This car will pay for itself in no time! Great buy!

Seems I've had a similar experience to everyone on here. I had to replace my alternator 3 times in 190,000 miles, belt tension, pumps, no engine or transmission problems. I've been hit at high speeds twice, and the car held up well, especially against the fort explorer at 50 mph, amazingly well actually. The car has never let me down, when something breaks you know it's coming. I want to get a new car, but i keep thinking. How much more can this thing go??? I've had it since 1999 and this thing has saved me a lot of money. I know when i turn the key its going to start. I think my car is actually coming back into style I've had it for so long :)

Would think more highly of the car if the dealers stood behind their claims. Put oil in every 500-1000 miles. Driver's window leaks.

NOT RECOMMENDED: '95 Saturn SC1 coupe

We purchased this SC1 new in 1995 and things soon started to go wrong. Within a month, the dash top had to be replaced and the dealer's attempt at matching the paint color and texture was a failure. The seats had to be replaced twice, the first time because the driver's seat back collapsed in the recline position, and later because the seat frame and bolts were found to be stripped. Door frame rain guards had to be replaced twice, and reglued many more times. Rough- running engine was diagnosed with code 32 and ERG valve was replaced. Engine mounts went bad and had to be replaced. Clutch hydraulics leaked = new master cylinder. Engine burns oil between changes and won't pass emissions. We spent almost $3,500 in maintenance and fixes in the first 100,000 miles. We won't be buying a Saturn again.
