Faults:

My moon-roof leaks, but I think they fixed it. I had it in twice, but it hasn't leaked again yet. I have had my brake rotors replaced at 12,ooo miles, but my car sat in storage for 6 months so that was part of it. And all of that work has been under warranty. It's a great car. I drive cars really hard and Saturns don't die on me.

General Comments:

The seat are really uncomfortable for long drives. I drive cross contry some times and I hate the seats in my care. I swear I can feel the springs poking me.

Faults:

Nearly nothing has gone wrong with this car, besides the fact that it wouldn't start twice due to the fact that a relative of mine who had borrowed it forgot to turn off the headlights during the night. I don't know how someone would make a mistake like that though... so it's understandable that something like that would happen.

Also, my radio reception has a lot of static. I can't explain why that is.

General Comments:

This is a worthy car to own. The look of it is indeed very sporty, and you could even fool someone you pass into thinking that it's a car with manual transmission. Once you press down on the gas you won't be disapointed.

My only disapointment, however, was the suspension. Everyone else who has written a review seems to have mentioned this.

It won't kill you on the gas either; I only have to its tank weekly and to do so costs me 18 dollars.

Since it's a lightweight car, it's very sensitive to bumps or potholes in the road; I used to think one of my tires would pop off one day, but that never happened.

Faults:

So far, I no problems have been encountered with the SC2 Coupe. The shifting of the 5-speed transmission could be smoother over all, but is acceptable.

General Comments:

Braking is excellent and braking control is exceptional especially in wet weather. The four-wheel independent suspension is phenomenal with precise handling with no sway in tight curves at highway speeds. The tan coloration of the cabin is extremely comfortable and relaxing and the stereo/CD is exceptional - especially in comparison to the 2003 ION. I think Saturn will regret the cost-saving measure of taking the four-wheel independent suspension out of the 2003 ION models. Engine performance for 1.9 cc compared to the wife's Toyota Camry 2.2 cc notes only a slightly higher power difference in the Camry, but not enough for the cost difference of the vehicles. The SC2 cabin is small making entry/exit difficult for tall persons. Long trips are made more comfortable by letting the seat back an extra space or two and leaning the back of the seat back a space or two.
