The first thing that went wrong with the car was the Idle Control Valve which the car turned off while I was on the freeway. So I pulled over and turned the car back on no problem went straight to dealer it was replaced in under 30 min. Next was the gauge cover at 10,000mi it warped and was replaced no further problem. Everything else was cosmetic to the interior the center of the dash was replaced because it started pealing at the lower part where my leg would rest. The headliner was replaced because a tech had got his dirty hands on it. The seat belt loop on the pass seat broke because my cousin used it to get out the car. My Driver side rear door the ext panel cracked when it was re adjusted a tech tightened it too much. The driver airbag was replaced because my sister decided to punch the horn to honk it and the air bag started coming out from behind the metal emblem. the last problem was also a technicians fault the when they replaced the air bag the first time I honked the horn it shorted the horn and the ignition switch. I got a 4 day rental for that.
Overall I give this car a 9 out of 10. This car has been very excellent and it's a daily driver. I have never been stranded in this car due to a mechanical break down and it continues to run like she is brand new. I was 18 when I got the car so its first two years I was a little rough with it and use to drive 90 miles round trip to work. This car has Almost 80,000 in three years and it still feels solid and new. All maintenance was either don't at an Authorized Saturn Dealership or by my self. All maintenance was done on time as Saturn Specifies. This was my first brand new car and I am very pleased with the car and the service i receive when I go to the dealership. I am DEFINITELY getting another Saturn.
With all those problems at 80000 I would stay away from saturn!
Actually those are very little problems for 80 000 MILES done by a younger driver...
