Engine seal leak. 25000 miles

Ignition module failure. 37000 miles.
I fell for the whole "Saturn family" thing hook line and sinker.
"Fool me once"
This can has suffered a major and expensive failure every 4-6 months since the warranty expired.
The dealer did fix the engine seal after I paid a $100 deductible and the steering failure for free.
All the rest is up to me.
My previous car was a 1982 Toyota Corolla which I drove for 18 years until
too much wore out all at once to repair
practically.
This Saturn is a joke, I won't be buying another.
This was interesting to me as my '96 SL1 with 167,000 miles has been trouble free EXCEPT for EGR valves (I am on my third) and a rear crankshaft seal which failed (although slowly) at about 125,000 miles. The clutch had to be replaced due to the oil contamination. But all of the other engine parts on my car are original except for the serpentine belt and hoses; the alternator, steering rack & pump, struts... things that wore out early on my Chevys have held up way beyond their expected life span and still work well.
