Saturn Life Times?

I've accumulated over 400,000 miles on 4 Saturns. Only one highway breakdown due to a Saturn shop screw-up that caused a 94 SW2 to lose all the tranny fluid. Oil changes every 3k mi., misc. filters (incl. fuel), plugs at maybe

I have a '95 SL2 that has been a great little car. It has about 128,000 miles and except for having to replace the wiper motor, the car has been no trouble. It has a an intermittent problem with the driver's window gets stuck in the up position, but since it's one of our "extra" vehicles, it's not that big a deal.

We feel more comfortable driving trucks and minivans, so the saturn is mostly driven when one of our "comfortable" cars is in for maintenance.

Chuck, How often do you change the fuel filter?

I didn't change it on my '94 until 87k, but the factory recommendation is probably 60k, maybe sooner? The filter is about $20 and not a real simple job.

On our third - had a 97 saturn that ran very well, and got rear-ended & wrecked (but we walked away). Replaced it with a 99 SL2, still in use, works great, and have a 2004 VUE, also good (fit a jacuzzi in it last weekend...).
