Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my '04. With no mods, I'm averaging 36.68 on mine, and that's with a nightly climb to 4,675 feet. My most recent road trip (including a trip over the Grapevine) averaged about 40.75. Check out Saturnfans.com for the most common flaws (backup switch, about $28 and 20 minutes labor, power steering motor can overheat if your tires are very low, some bushing noise, leaky sunroof.) In my case, the price was right (bought it for about $10,500 new with incentives and employee discount.)
