i am thinking about buy a new car, any rockets fan has a SATURN or had a SATURN? who can tell me SATURN is good or not good...anything special? Thank you
My wife's first car was a Saturn. We drove it all over the US. It was a great car. Plus we got in two accidents and they hold up well.
There are only two big downfalls to Saturns: 1) They really depreciate fast in retail value after a few years. 2) Those plastic panels save you dings, but if hit hard enough, they shatter (the panels are pretty expensive to replace.
ya.. u r right, thats why my husband has not 2 much interets to buy a saturn. but i am a new driver...(i hate driving, it makes me ), so i need buy a cheap car for this reason...and i hate the the other brands...civic...corolar(too many people buy it...looks 2 dull)...echo and focus are too ugly. new saturn is quite new looking, so....i dont know...sometimes u have too many choices will confusing u.
I used to work on Saturns from time to time. One thing I noticed that might be considered a con of owning a Saturn. They fall apart pretty quick after 100-150K miles or so. New ones are nice little cars for the money, but try to stay away from the used, high-mileage ones.
One thing to consider... the reason lots of people buy those types of cars are because the hold up well and they have good resell values. I had a civic for 10 years with 140K + miles on it. I sold it outright for $1200 and it was still running like a dream. The only problem we ever had was a cracked cap and rotor. CK
This is the reason why when people want to know about nice small cars that hold up well...I always recommend Hondas or Nissans. I have seen old Hondas/Nissans holdup for 200-300K miles with relatively small amounts of money spent on maintenance. Very sound and dependable cars for the most part. Unfortunately, Hondas/Nissans are high up on the thieves favorites list these days.
I love my Saturn. I bought it for 6 grand at 22,000 miles last year and haven't had a single problem with it.
See, instead of the Saturn, I would hold out for the Mercedes, or the BMW. If you would like an SUV instead of a car, I suggest the Escalade or the Hummer. It's just a few pennies more.
I have a Saturn (my second), but I won't be buying another one. The don't hold their valule (despite their claims), and they do fall apart faster than some other cars. I'd try to spend a little more money and get a Honda or Toyota.
Saturn is a good car, The Ion has replaced the SL series and SC The car is very safe, My mom and brother totaled their SL-1 by hydroplaning on a road going to Alabama. The car hit a tree sideways and the back window did not shatter but just popped out, Nobody was hurt at all. Now she drives a 2003 Beetle
