Saturn = Crap
 
So My saturn was only running on 3 cylinders. I drive it about 20 miles then let it sit at the girls house for a while. Then I go buy some plugs find the one that aint firing and take it out. Just covered in oil. I know a burn a lille oil but christ. I figured it was just from not firing? But its oil so either my vavle seals are bad or rings are fried. So i go on and put a new one in and she wont fire up. Im pissed, jump in my camaro and forget about it for a week. Then I come back me and ssl2k were gonna do a compression test but the frickin battery is dead. Once again I get mad and leave. Come back to days later put the sparkplugs back in and try to start it while juimping it. nothin wont even attempt to fire. So i sit there for 5 min turning it over and finally she starts up...On all four cylinders. She ran good last night and this morning on the way home from work. Why it will run now and not then is crzy. But Im happy Now i can trade it in. :)

And my foots asleep

Saturns are just GM, I wouldn't expect them to be extra troublesome.

i've had nothin but troubles from gm stuff. i've actually got a gm pile of ---- sittin in my driveway. sunfire awaiting plugs after the head gasket i just did. too bad it ate through 2 coolant hoses, a radiator, and a waterpump within the whole year i had it. >:(

Saturns suck. End of story.

They may not suck in the future b/c GM decided to drop some money in them (plus the whole global platform thing will help them immensly), but the original satunrs were just a way for GM to make money (b/c they wouldnt "Haggle" on a Saturn) on some seocnd rate ----. You cant even put the magnetic "I drive a gay ass Saturn" stickers on a saturn b/c they are made of ------- plastic. I have driven a "regular" saturn and their SC1 and they both suck. I would argue that a sunfire is more fun to drive than a saturn, and that is pathetic.

hahaha, my pop had a car, it was pretty funked up, lots of new parts invested in it, but it was still ruff, ran great, but ruff, brought it in to trade, I forgot that when it's cold it runs a little funny, so when the guy test drove it, I was worried, but he came back and was like 'okay deal' I was like what the funk, and they gave us the good kbb trade-in value for it too, it had tore up and sirty interior too, but I guess it works out great :)

How'd you like my story with no periods :D Talk about a run on sentence 8)

i wouldnt trust a car that has styrofoam inprinted on the motor from the casting process

Re:Saturn = Crap
 
heh "lost foam" casting gotta love it. They are actualy one of the easiest cars to work on. Well, except the newer piles of garbage L series. Hell the ION and VUE are both a pos but on the bright side the VUE does come with an optional 3.5l v6 HONDA engine :) I'd love to turbo that bitch. AWD turbo honda powered Saturn VUE it already has 240hp stock hmmmm.....
