Not tested by NHTSA

The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Description:
|
On certain passenger vehicles, some front seat back recliner gear teeth may wear excessively through repeated use, and could cause the seat back to slip partially rearward when force is applied. If this happens while the vehicle is being driven, it could cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the vehicle's front seat recliner mechanisms. This is an expansion of a previous recall (99V045). GM has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Saturn at 1-800-553-6000, prompt 3.

Summary:

New interior, same friendly dealers
By Professional Test Driver, NewCarTestDrive.com
In judging the Saturn COupe's effectiveness as a sporty car, you must take a dollars-and-cents approach. The price of entry is relatively low compared with that of competing coupes, particularly those supplied by Asian manufacturers. But the pricing game can be deceptive. When you start adding the kind of comfort and convenience options that make motoring more fun, the price quickly soars.Although the SC2 is certainly the sexiest member of its family, we tend to think Saturn makes more sense as a sedan than as a coupe. Same hardware, same options, virtually identical performance and handling - plus a decent rear seat. Engine noise and transmission deficiencies aside, the SC2 and the similarly equipped SL2 sedan are genuinely a pleasure to drive, while delivering economy-car fuel mileage. The extra performance of the twin cam engine - and the availability of 4-wheel disc brakes - make it well worth the $1100 extra that Saturn charges. On the other hand, it would be entirely proper of you to ask why Saturn cannot offer standard ABS when some of the other lower-priced compact cars on the market - such as the Chevrolet Cavalier - manage to do so. And, after five seasons, many people are more than ready to see some significant face-lift work being done on the complete Saturn lineup. But You'll have to wait for the 1996 model year to see that change. |

Overview:
|
Saturn, the ads say, is a different kind of car company. The cars, we're told, are high-quality, true- blue alternatives to low-priced Japanese imports and are built and sold by a new breed of customer-driven dealers. The Saturn family is friendly and folksy - just like you, a potential buyer of one of the three Saturn models. Sound contrived? Well, surprise: There's a major component of truth to the image Saturn has so carefully constructed. You can expect a Saturn to offer excellent value for the money, and you can expect to be treated well and in a straightforward manner when you pop into your nearest dealership for a look-see. But before you rush out to buy, of course, you'll want to check the cars out a bit. Although the basic packages have not changed over the past five years, the coupes, sedans and wagons wearing the Saturn label have been updated and improved in countless ways. there's a positive side to the limited offerings and minimal changes: Familiarity often results in excellent assembly quality. But if you are determined to own the latest and flashiest car on your block, this may not be it - though our $16,165 test car, an SC2 coupe, looked pretty good.
