I wish you very good luck with your new Saturn.  My fiancee just traded
hers in.  At 36K, it had already gone through 3 clutch master cylinders.
 It burned a quart of oil every 1,000 miles (the dealer performed a
consumption test and said this was "Normal" and within spec).  When we
upgraded the stereo we found that all of the metal under the dashboard was
coated in rust (a Sacramento, California car since new).  The dealer said
"Well these are manufactured in the South and with the humidity they
sometimes start to rust before they leave the factory."

Buyer beware!

Vernon

Ive had it, now it's leaking oil, water, power steering fluid, need tranny,
alignment...everything goes all at once, I'll go bankrupt. I'm a month
behind
on payments cause it's always breaking.
So that's it. Im looking at Saturns, I've had good experiences with them,
they
cheaper and look good and the milage is great.
 Im done with VWs unless by some miracle I can getta New Bug.
