Hey Cap, why not invest some money into the Saturn's suspension and keep it instead of getting into a new car with new problems? Springs and sway bars should make it corner much better and some light weight wheels and sticky tires should get it cornering even better. Is yours a single or dual cam car? I was getting 44mpg with my 95 DOHC with a SOHC trans and cruise set on 60mph.
