I had a 97 Saturn sw1 I bought for cheap right before the pandemic. Then gas prices 480 a gallon at one time. Then the used car market sword upwards. It was like I almost knew what I was doing😂😂. I truly like that car. Believe it or not somebody stole it.😢 I replaced it with a Toyota. 10 months later going through Facebook marketplace. Picked up a 95 Saturn SL2 5-speed. 65 k on the clock very clean. Gave 2500 dollars. Back in business.

I love my 2024 grom. Easy bike to work on and gets me where I need to go. It’s too small to bother with exhaust systems and intake. I think I spent maybe $40 to get some bar end mirrors and a 14 tooth drive sprocket.

One incorrect piece of info… before 2000 model year, more than 80% of Saturn customers were considered conquests, they didn’t own another GM car and, in most cases, wouldn’t even have looked at a GM brand. Saturn was a wholly owned subsidiary of GM, not a division like Chevy or Pontiac, their advertising didn’t mention GM at all.

The biggest misconception, is that saturns burn oil. The better explanation not spoken here is the lack of better knowledge regarding crappy owners. With a good owner, and maintainer, you have yourself a great car, and will have it for a good long while.

@@theskinnytechnician Here's what I know for sure. I am a part time mechanic for an 02 SL2. I have maintained it for many years. And it has never been a "lemon". I myself made the decision, hey I know this twin cam engine well enough and this car is made well enough, so I bought myself a Saturn SW2. I used to be a big Honda civic enthusiast, until I went and looked at them out on the market. What was on the market surely wasn't worth my hard earned money. And nine times out of ten, I could get the owners to lower their asking price lower than what they wanted versus what it was actually worth. You know what was different with this Saturn and the Honda's? Was that it turned on with the key in the ignition, it didn't smell like a barn, and it wasn't missing anything regarding engine pieces or interior. So lemme ask, whats better. A fuel efficient Honda that starts by jumping the starter solenoids and has missing pieces such including interior, or a fuel efficient Saturn that is already know efficient by me, faster than a civic, and actually american made. Like I said, I used to be a fan of civics. But I have since walked away from that since all they are is SHIT. A saturn makes more power anyways. SO as you probably can already assume, I am a huge fan of saturn now since I have known the ins and outs for a while and know the truth for what it is. And just a little bit for anyone wondering, insurance for a saturn is cheaper than insurance for a civic. Now, I can only attest to the s-series reliability and nothing like the ion, redline, aura, or lumina. The s-series was made in competition with the past civics and other foreign small cars. And I'd say the s-series served its utmost purpose even now, since it made me, a previously civic only fan, become a saturn only fan. And I mean come on, it's sad when you go to look at a civic and the saturn is the more logically right option since most civic owners want more for less. Most saturns you see on the market, are complete, whereas a civic will have missing parts nine times out of ten.

I think they were designed to use a little oil. In order to increase gas mileage they chose to use lower tension oil control rings on the piston…I check my level every 500 miles and have to add less then a half of quarter..Also some choose to use 40 weight all…

My neighbor has an 01.accord and ive had to do everything to that damn thing. Last thing was replacing all the fuel lines because she came from Wisconsin and the salt just destroys a car but im pretty sure its the climtae control panel thats causing her problems and not the AC system itself because its not just the AC button that goes off intermittenly but also the vent direction button and the recirculation button.

I had a 1997 SL1. 200k miles. 5 speed. Very reliable but I always kept a case of oil in the trunk. It was about 1 quart per gas tank. The fantastic gas mileage made up for that. I sold it when the A/C crapped out. Thinking back, might have been smart to have that fixed and keep driving it.

I'm fortunate that I have a basement. That's the one thing I love about the Navi. Your basement can be your garage. The fork lock feature on it is pretty badass too. Someone might be able to carry it away, but it will be much harder to get the wheel unlocked. If I park it outside under my car port, you won't be able to easily get it past my car. It won't fit through the gap with the wheel turned and locked, LOL!
