They're >>certainly nothing to cry over. They were as advance as they were going >>to get. The plastic body panels (and the low rpm peak torque) were the major reasons why I purchased two new S1 Saturns. If the S1 wagons had not been cancelled, I would have bought a third. I do not see anything in the Saturn showroom today that I would consider buying. If I am going to buy a standard GM product, I want to be able to purchase my parts from my standard GM parts (wholesale price) dealer. Since GM has also abandoned the fuel efficient mini station wagon, I can see nothing I want from GM (except a new Vette). The upside is that since GM killed the S1, the used prices have dropped significantly and a used S1 is now a great value and they are available for very low prices and parts are now appearing in the self serve wrecking yards so they will be cheaper to fix. I would advise anyone to purchase the next low mileage SW1 that they find in good condition. RIP Saturn |
