In '95 I sold my '69 VW Bug to buy a Saturn. I love my Saturn. I bought new tires for the first time last year. I got the extended maintenance and was glad I did. My car still gets great mileage. The only thing to remember is to get the oil changed every 3,000 miles or every 3 months whichever comes first. This is very important on any car from the mid to late 90's up to today.
