Are Saturn cars any good?
I’ve had really good luck with Saturns. My 94 SL2 had 170,000 miles on it when I traded it in for a 2005 ION. I think it had one major repair in the 10 years we owned it. I’m pretty happy with my ION as well. The manual transmission has definitely improved in the past 11 years. I find the ION to be more comfortable as well. A friend of mine, who is 6’4″, said it was the first Saturn he was actually comfortable in. I’ve always been incredibly happy with the Saturn service as well. The service folks recognize me, they know my name, they know which car I drive, without looking up any of the information, and the service was always done quickly and correctly. I found that when I took it someplace other than the Saturn dealer to have it serviced, they didn’t always know how to fix the car and I’d end up having to take it back into the dealer to have them fix whatever the non-dealer mechanic did. That was frustrating. I’ve had good luck with my Saturns and I’ve always been happy with them.
