It wasnt that they had problems with the car such as breaking down, excessive maintanence, etc... They just didnt like the car and wanted out of it. Most complained of it being "Too damn small".

I had a Saturn. It was great at first, but as time goes on, I started wishing someone would hit the thing. After the newness ( I did buy it used, but it was new to me) wore off, it just wasn't that great to spend two hours a day in.

At 100k miles, it started burning oil and I was about to have to pull the engine to change the clutch. I was just too hard on it, hitting the rev limiter once a day. The only way to get the thing to move is to drive it like you stole it.

By the time I traded it, I would have paid the salesman to take it.

Thanks, that's good to hear. And I'll have to agree - the small ones are certainly small. I took my husband's little SL to my mom's last weekend while he was home with the kids and I came home and said to him, "I can't believe you fold your 6'1", 210 lb body into it every day for 2 hours." He's a big dude, not fat at all, just big, I'm considerably smaller of course and was quite uncomfortable!
