"Very nice driving and dependable vehicle"

Electric fuel pump.
Battery.
Brakes.
Tires.
General comments?
Pros:
Fun car to drive if you like speeding.
Great handling car even at high speeds.
Nice pickup from a stop.
Very good on turns.
You can go at 90 mph and it feels like 50 mph.
Very dependable car.
I bought the car used at the end of 2003 for $10,000. It had 22,000 miles and now I have 160,000 miles on it. All I had to replace beside the normal oil changes, wear on brakes and tires, have been fuel pump ($900) and the battery. Everything else on the car is original equipment.
I would definitely would buy a Saturn again. It is the best car I have ever owned.
Cons:
Cloth seats stain easily.
Not a great looking car.
Engine light comes on and off, but it has not caused a problem.
Interior light went out a while back and I have not fixed them. I checked the fuses and it is not a fuse problem. I was told it is a computer problem, and I do not want to pay the money
