I have to say, I would never buy another Saturn if you held a gun to my
head. For all their vauntedservice problems, when I developed a serious
problem (100 mi/qt. of oil)
they gave me thef*cking runaround until I gave up. I've heard of numerous
people with the
oil consumptionproblem, too. So yeah, buy a Saturn, they'll make you feel
really good
about it. But they'restill GM crap cars.
