I drove 200k in two Saturn SL2 sedans over the last 12 years, and I loved those cars. I saved for 2 summers as a 15/16 year old kid and bought a '99 SL2 in 2005 with 61K on the clock for $3750. That car was killed by a BMW that turned in front of me. The second (1998 SL2) I bought in 2007 with 82k for $2750 and drove it for 10 years and 155k miles with about $1000 total in upkeep costs. It was passed on to a family member and is still driving along happily at 240k.

Great cars. 35-38mpg consistently even with pisswater California gasoline.
