The stick shift s-series saturns are a real hypermilers bargain. You can do a lot worse for a lot more money. They are just a pain to work on for alternators and starters etc, except that 5th gear thing. Also you have to keep the oil topped off, they all burn oil, it's normal. But I'm a big fan of the s-series (there's a lot of s-series fans), wish saturn hadn't have gotten rid of them.
