Reliability of a high mileage 1998 Saturn? Any good? Should I buy? by
xnews user
Hi all,
I've been looking for a reliable low cost 2nd car... I had mainly been
looking at early-mid 90's Honda's & Toyota's since that put me in the range
of money I wanted to spend and they have a reputation for running to high
miles.
Recently though, I came across a 1998 Saturn SL2 for a good...

SW2 - Trouble inserting key in ignition by
Peter A. Schott
Not sure what's causing this, but I'm having more trouble inserting my key
into the ignition on my '99 SW2. Sometimes it goes right in, sometimes the
piece of metal over the hole just won't budge until I fiddle with things for a
while. Is this a cause for concern? Do I need a new part or have to...

time to time and do not understand why.
Thanks Linda

Saturn Relay anyone? by
Dan Duncan
Has anyone had any experience with the Saturn Relay?
I spotted one the other day. I didn't even know they were out
until then and hadn't seen any mention on this group about it.
I checked out the information on Saturn's website, built my own,
did side by side comparisons with a couple of other...

GMS & Saturns DRLs by
teem
On GMs the headlights are on full time,on Saturns,it's the park
lights.Is this how it ended up?.In my opinion,if you have to see
lights on in daytime,you shouldn't be driving,plus the battery has
enough to do.

Best tires to buy for SW2 by
J B
About a year or so ago I read a thread on here that mentioned a tire
that some drivers wanted to buy for their Saturns. Seemed the consensus
was that brand was the best and helped make for a real smooth ride.
Considering how low my SW2 sits I'd like to get tires that would help
make riding in it as...

Oil Life by
Charles D.Wolf
My wife bought a 2005 Ion and has put 4000 miles on it so far. The oil
life warning has yet to signal a time for a change. The dealer says
bring it in every 3000 mile, but at $40 a pop, I think they are more
interested in making money. What is normal on these?
Thanks in advance;
Chuck

Snow tires on a Saturn??? by

My daughter has a 1993 Saturn SL2. She has just moved to Cleveland from
California. I'm sure this newsgroup has posted articles from time to time
about the advisability of snow tires on a Saturn but I can't find any just

Ion - dissapointing by
Mike
Checked out the new Ion's this week. The car was ok. They were not
especially striking or loaded with features for 15-18k. But, NONE of the
cars on the lot had anti-lock brakes. The salesman gave me some cock and
bull story about how the ion has 50% of the weight on the front and back so
