I just bought a Saturn--Thanks for all your input

[bif]

Last week I asked Saturn owners how they liked their cars. Based on all the positive feedback I took the plunge and bought a Saturn yesterday. What a great car! Very high quality feel and ride. Thanks for helping me make my decision.

1. I have a Saturn

It's not anything spectacular, but it's solid and dependable. Did you get any extras?

2. Schweet!

My family loves out Ion! Good for you! Which model did you get?

6. It's an '03 L200

Somebody ordered the thing loaded and then decided they didn't want the thing. so the dealer and GM offered a bunch of cash back on the vehicle. It's a 5-speed with a leather interior, heated seats and mirrors, Electronic temperature control, 6 disc cd player and a moon roof. Plus free OnStar for a year! It's really like a luxury car. And we're moving up from a base Mercury Tracer.

9. The state of Delaware thanks you for your patronage

Your car was built about 3 miles from my home. I pass the Saturn Plant in Wilmington about once a week (it's near the shopping area on Kirkwood Highway)

Thanks for keeping Delaware Auto Workers employeed!!

To retool for some new Pontiac model.

4. Which model? Maybe it was made in DELAWARE

:D

The Saturn Plant is 2 miles from my home, I think they make the "L" series and the new SUV there

8. You should rephrase that as "assembled in Delaware"

Much of the Saturn line components are made elsewhere, and assembled in the US. (Like the Saturn wiring harnesses/switches/fuse assemblies/electronic ignition system, etc, are made in China.)

13. That may be true, but still...

Saturn is the most American Made car out there.

5. good choice

I've heard nothing but great things from Saturn owners.

Personally I'm jonesing for a VW Passat. What have you guys heard?

11. I just got a 2004 Nissan Altima

I checked out the Passat too, but the Altima is assembled in the US - and is one hell of a nice car. More solid ride and better outfitted than the Passat (and the Saturn too). Its a better value imo. Both the 4cyl and the 6cyl. Check it out.

7. Hey, congrats!

Sounds like you got a great one. We love our L200.

12. Thanks.

I love this car! Hope it lasts as well as our Tracer. We've put hardly any money in the thing in 9 years. Pretty solid utilitarian vehicle.
