At the end of the day, its still a..... Saturn. We just got rid of an 02 Saturn L200 and replaced it with an 06 Mazda 3. My mother had an 02 L300 that she purchased at the same time. It was just totalled a couple of months ago, and replaced with an 07 Camry. I hope that anyone who purchases a Saturn has alot of free time, because you are going to need it. You will be spending alot of time at the dealership trying to get things fixed. Atleast for the first couple of years anyway. After that, you just give up.

Maybe this will give you an idea of how bad it was. We had so many problems, I told my other half to cal Saturn and ask them to extend the warranty due to the number of problems that we had. I was looked at like I was crazy. The next day, after a call to Saturn, the warranty was extended with no questions asked. However, there was a price. We had to sign paperwork stating that we would not sue, or seek any damages in exchange.

Opel's reliability is questionable. My wife's co-worker has the new Holden Vectra (a re-badged Opel Vectra). She says it spends more time at the dealerships for servicing one fault or another than it does on their garage. I told her maybe you should've bought a Camry instead.

I know we are talkin about this Saturn being a rebadged Opal, but most of GM is just a rebadged something or other, for example; Pontiac Vibe, Chevy Aveo, Pontiac GTO, most of there mid sized truck and suv's are Isuzu, I forget what else, but I know there is a lot more

finally a BMW I would buy :)

The astra is HOT it seriously makes me wonder how far I want to go with the yaris... I need maybe 1 foot more length with the seats down... the yaris is "perfectly" sized, but it would be nice to carry things that are 48" long and not ride up on the steering wheel.

Wont happen until late 08 maybe 09 though... gotta make a dent in these payments lol.

The Civic hatch last i knew isn't making it to the states. Unless they changed their mind but still Civic is considered Sport Compact not sub.
