>> First, the car was very good. The only negative was that sometimes it was going to turn off automatically itself. Not that important.
>> After 4 Months: Alternator change ($450)
>> 2 Months Later: I was driving back from San Jose to Irvine, near LA's hills, the car started to show weakness and I pushed the gas pedal harder, but it would't go. very streng. I pulled over, opened up the hood. I saw ALL 4 cylinders' wires are full of oil. Yes, I was seeing oil ON my engine. All over. Yes, the engine was out ($1000).
>> After that, It was awsome, but it still had the turn off habit. it would turn itself ALMOST off. Also, although the engine was completely repaired, when I was trying to get the best 0-60MPh, it would weeken itself from 2000RPM and up. I mean, it would go quick to 2000 and after that it was like missing fuel or something that it would go with the same accelaration.
At first, 27Mpg and now, after also a Engine repair... wouldn't believe it... 18Mpg!!! I don't know why. I don'y deal with it that bad, but it has 18mpg.
Now... they were all negatives...
Positives:
This car is a very good car. Run awsome. Power is good (Was good). I passed Talons, Eclipses and Hondas with my SL2 Twin Cam Saturn. Also, it is not that pretty.
I too had the oil leak on my engine, but I didn't need to replace the engine just the oil gasket $150.00. You may have gotten screwed.
