I was surprised that nothing has gone wrong with this car. All I have ever done has been scheduled maintainance.
This car gives me over 39.5 miles per gallon!! My commute is mostly highway miles. My previous commute was mostly city driving and I used to average 33 miles a gallon.
The car was very inexpensive and nearly pristine when we bought it in 2003. We paid 6875.00 USD.
The cabin is very small and drab.
The interior materials look flimsy and cheap. However, they all work and there has been no visible wear and tear.
High wind noise levels inside the cabin.
About, the wind being heard inside the cabin, I own a Saturn SL 2002 and it's as quiet as any other car if not better.

I too own a 2002 SL2, and I agree with the poster, the wind noise is quite intrusive. I also own a 1998 S-10 and a 2004 Honda Civic and both these vehicles have much better noise isolation than my Saturn. I can only assume that it has to do with such little sound deadening material used. Or maybe it has to do with the seats being so low and close to the ground. Who knows, but the car is definitely eager to tell you whats happening all around it all the time.
What things have gone wrong with the car?

After saying the above you still give the car a sad face??? I would like to see what your rating would be on a car you had trouble with...
