What are people'* views on Saturns? Good, reliable cars? Junk?

They are just clones of other GM cars....

so like many gms you have to do your homework, some are rebranded other cars. like vibe is a matrix, a few saturns were honda something or others if i remember right

My '99 Saturn SL2 5-speed had 98,000 miles when I bought it. The guy just replaced the crank and one or 2 rods, replaced rings, bearings. I have 253,000 miles now 7 years later. I've had to replace both front wheel bearings,rear struts,rear stabilizer links. It gets 38-40 mpg.Does good in the snow. Makes a real good work car. Not much room for a family but you can drop the rear seats down and you can haul a few 8' 2x4'* and close the trunk.
