This is a wonderful car if you are humble enough to drive it.
This car is clearly ahead of its time, a time which may not yet have come...
Here is a listing of the features:
- 35+ MPG, a fuel sipper.
- "Golf-cart handling", as made popular by the Mini, at a fraction of the cost.
- Dent-resistant doors. I don't know about you, but most people seem to have forgotten how much fun and how awesome these are.
- Plastic bumpers. This makes putting paint on bumpers seem like a pretty stupid idea.
- Special flat matte paint finish. I believe the hood is faded from the sun and salt, but it IS a really hot look right now.
- Two new tires. Each cost about $30-40, so cheap! (the other 2 are OK).
- Tune up last year, new belts and plugs! Preventative maintenance only, this reliable car has never let me down.
- Battery is less than 2 years old.
The bad:
- The E-brake (works) but the latch/button is missing, so it does not lock. It has been this way for years, no reason to fix.
- The ceiling started to droop so I ripped it out. I really like the look of the steel roof, it's a clean look.
- There are stains and rips and tears all over the interior of the car.
- I kept seat covers on the seats, which are now faded (and included with the sale). I'm sure with new seat covers it would be a like a brand new car.
- The paint is faded and scratched in various areas.
- The glass is good with the exception of one chip, which has been there for years and thus has not cracked or grown at all.

Saturn Vue ignition issue was discussed three times before recall, new documents reveal
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Despite the tens of millions of recalled vehicles this year, it's somewhat rare that we get a glimpse into what goes into deciding when to conduct one of these safety campaigns. New documents published by General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are giving us an interesting opportunity to see how the sausage is made and show the number of meetings it takes to declare a recall.
In early August, GM added about another 269,000 vehicles to its 2014 recall tally in the US when it announced a slew of new safety campaigns. Among them was a fix for the 2002-2004 Saturn Vue that covered 202,155 of them in the US. The problem was that the key could be removed from the ignition even when it wasn't in the "OFF" position, and that had caused two crashes and one injury, according to the automaker.
Where we start to see behind the veil is in the defect notice freshly released by NHTSA. It shows that GM began investigating more widely for ignition switches in April, shortly after the company expanded its ignition switch recall to a variety of Saturn products, among others, according to Automotive News. The automaker found 152 reports in the 2002-2004 Vue of vehicles rolling away or the key being removed out of a total population of 215,243 units worldwide.
Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
