2001 Saturn SL consumer reviews

This is the most reliable car I have owned. I have >320,00kms on it after 23 years. It always starts in cold weather whether its plugged in or not. It never needs anything outside regular maintenance and tires are very inexpensive. It is super easy to get to anything on the engine. The a/c and heating work great. Its not the prettiest or most comfortable vehicle, but it works better than anything I have driven.

Oh everyone knows these run forever. Super reliable. Not safe per day, but super good mileage and sporty to drive ...................Not many left on the road

ive had this car for years now and its only need the brakes maintenanced many times but it keeps on giving and never lets you down

2001 Saturn SL2 is my first vehicle! I purchased it new 17 years ago and still running like a champ! It starts up easy. I t has been a very low maintenance by changing oil every 3,000 to 4,000 miles, changing battery to the very end of its life, as well as its tires. In short, I trust the credibility and reliability of this car because it gets me to work for that long period of time without any problem. The body still looks beautiful and in fashion. One time I parked my car in the parking lot, I noticed that it looks like somebody crashed my car because of scratch marks on the side of the body. I took the little rug and cleaner and it surprises me because the marks were totally erased after several attempts of cleaning. That was amazing ! Because my car was looked like got hit heavily by looking on those marks. Other than that It"s not showing any ding nor any damaged! Saturn body make is very incredible! I love this car! I will keep it until it serves me its purpose!!

I've been driving a 2001 Saturn since I bought it seventeen years ago. I've had very few problems over all those years and it is still running great. This car is not fast, not good looking and has a very cheap feeling interior. It is borderline embarrassing to drive. That said, it is super reliable, gets great gas mileage and I haven't had a car payment in a very long time, all of which outweigh the negatives.

I bought my car brand new with only 11 miles on it right out of the showcase in york,pa. It's now 2017 and I am still driving it with 198,000 miles on it..its lasted me almost 17 years...stull has the original clutch,motor,a/c...only normal repairs like plugs and wires and battery! I think I also have the original fuel filter as well..im wondering how much longer it will go for me! Hopefully 300,000 miles! Still runs awesome! The interior however is a different story but..it is almost 17 yrs old!

This is my second Saturn. I am Selling it because my Dad left me his Saturn and it is new with only 40,000 miles on it and it is a 2002 which makes it a year less older then my 2001 Saturn which to be honest is really hard for me to sell because I become attached to it , but I don't need two cars and my 2001 has over 99,800 miles on it. So I think I am making the right choice to sell it. But it is a VERT VALUE Oriented Car to own in my Book.

This was the best car I have owned I would give every car out here for that one car back best money I have ever spent everyone should try this car out

330thousend Alot of miles when I got it and yes uses some oil but I'm still getting 30 mpg min and as far as handling I love it

Bought a 2001 Saturn SL2 used about 1 1/2 years ago. Replaced 2 starters. Replaced the intake manifold, due to a little tube that broke off. Fuel pump relay failed. Vapor lock on very hot day caused the same symptoms as fp relay. Car is obsolete. Getting hard to find parts for. Fun to drive, & has cold air. Comfortable; But concerned about future breakdowns, parts supplies. Fairly reliable. Like it; But don't recommend it to anyone else. Or a Pontiac, Oldsmobile, or Saab.
