Faults:

The car had to be towed 10 days after purchase. Since then, however, there have been no breakdowns.

The gas mileage was well below what it should have been until ~17,000 miles, when it kicked in and began getting the advertised mileage.

General Comments:

I was initially very upset with the breakdown.

Also, last night I got in an accident with it, on a country road that ran between two fields. Late at night, thinking I was on the next road up that ran straight through for 2 miles, this dirt road didn't run straight through. I hit a ditch straight on and came out of a serious accident without a scratch, no damage was sustained from the airbag hitting me, the car sustained only minimal damage. I have to believe this is at least partially because the car was well constructed. Not only that, seconds after the airbag deployed, On-Star was on the speaker asking if I was alright. They called for help, they took care of everything and stayed on the line until help arrived. The impact of that cannot be overemphasized.

My opinion of the car has changed completely since my first review. No apologies for the first review, it was a fit at that time, but the car has completely earned my trust over time.

Faults:

Not one thing.

General Comments:

Engine and transmission are splendidly matched. Smooth and powerful.

Electronic power steering is easy operate in parking lots. Has great steering feel on the road.

Trunk is massive. Can hold a lot of groceries.

Quad Coupe doors make putting baby in the backseat a snap.

Polymer doors are impervious to dents.

Faults:

Under-hood sensor (knock Sensor) activated the "check engine" light. Had vehicle in dealership within 15 minutes and they fixed problem within 15 minutes. Simple adjustment to the computer, which was set too sensitive at the factory.

General Comments:

Very nice and comfortable vehicle. Much smoother and quieter than previous year models. Kudos to Saturn engineers who came up with that space age silencing material. I have only had the vehicle 6 months and already my wife is insisting on a Quad Coupe. (Middle Age Crisis).
