My overall impression was that it was a typical GM product. It just kept running. The engine burned a ton of oil, lots of little things in the car were loose or coming apart, sensors died more frequently than they should, but man was it cheap and good on gas for what it was, and nothing major ever gave out.
Was reading on the Saturn forum this morning and apparently before the late 90’s they were good cars, then GM does what GM does and has to ruin everything. Common problems seem to be oil consumption, temp sensor and alternator replacement every few yrs. Members are saying it’s nothing to get 40+ mpg out of the SOHC 5 speed. A few have claimed 50+.
