2002 Saturn SC1 Coupe

3rd Owner (purchased in November 2012)

I bought this car as an extra vehicle when my drive to work was 80 miles round trip.
It has gotten me 44mpg. Mostly 38mpg was calculated.
My job situation has changed, so I don't need a 3rd vehicle anymore.

THE PROS:
Excellent gas mileage (38mpg average)
COLD A/C (when I bought it, he told me it was the selling point...he wasn't kidding)
Great heating (small cab to heat comfortably)
Rear Defrost
Intermittent Wipers
Excellent wheel alignment (perfect tracking on the road)
10,000 miles on tires (85% tread)
Excellent traction on snowy roads (low profile car...not so good above 8" drifts)
Cheap insurance (added $12/mo liability only)
New clear headlight lenses (original had haze and I didn't like it)
Plastic body (will not rust)
Engine runs solid (always starts nicely)
Transmission has been solid (a shifter cable broke last fall and both have been replaced)

Tight turning radius (fun to park in small spaces)

THE CONS:
High miles (few problems will come up...cheap to fix)
Flex pipe has hole (was quoted $90 to replace it, but I like the cheesy exhaust sound)
1.9L notorious for burning oil (I check oil once a month. Sometimes have to add a quart)
Traction control doesn't work (no desire to fix it...manual transmission anyway...start in 2nd gear in the snow and you're fine)
Service Engine light has been on since I bought it (Secondary O2 sensor...no desire to replace it...doesn't affect performance...useless emission add-on anyway)
100hp engine (holds 65mph like a champ, but takes 18 seconds to get there)

This car has been amazing and fun to drive. Hope it finds a good home. Sad to see it go, but I would love my half of the garage back.

Selling locally. I have the right to end auction early. (am I really one of those people now?)

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

"When I think of the most impressive, industry changing, earth shattering vehicles of recent history, the first car that comes to my mind is the 2004 Saturn Ion Coupe."

We suggest you watch the video below to see just how perfectly Holt's sex machine will fit into your life. The end result will no doubt be exactly as Holt ends his video: "You need it. Like a lot."

Saturn Vue ignition issue was discussed three times before recall, new documents reveal

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Despite the tens of millions of recalled vehicles this year, it's somewhat rare that we get a glimpse into what goes into deciding when to conduct one of these safety campaigns. New documents published by General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are giving us an interesting opportunity to see how the sausage is made and show the number of meetings it takes to declare a recall.
In early August, GM added about another 269,000 vehicles to its 2014 recall tally in the US when it announced a slew of new safety campaigns. Among them was a fix for the 2002-2004 Saturn Vue that covered 202,155 of them in the US. The problem was that the key could be removed from the ignition even when it wasn't in the "OFF" position, and that had caused two crashes and one injury, according to the automaker.
Where we start to see behind the veil is in the defect notice freshly released by NHTSA. It shows that GM began investigating more widely for ignition switches in April, shortly after the company expanded its ignition switch recall to a variety of Saturn products, among others, according to Automotive News. The automaker found 152 reports in the 2002-2004 Vue of vehicles rolling away or the key being removed out of a total population of 215,243 units worldwide.

Report: GM temporarily restarts Saturn Outlook, Hummer H3 production

Saturn Outlook - Click above for high-res image gallery
Even though both the Saturn and Hummer brands are being phased out, General Motors has reportedly revived production of both the Outlook crossover and H3 SUV to meet consumer demands.
Last month, GM assembled 1,037 Outlooks at its Lansing, Michigan facility, which is where the crossover's Lamda platform stablemates (Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia) are built. A spokesperson for GM states that production was reinstated to utilize the rest of the Saturn-specific material at the facility, and that the automaker will continue to assemble the Outlook for a few more weeks.
