Hi there.

My name is Star. I am a 2001 Saturn SC2. I've had two previous owners - a nice fire fighter from NYC and my current owner, Kristen, who's a grad school student. I have 159,000 miles on me, but don't you dare call me old! It's rude to insult a girl.

You might wonder why my name is Star. Well you see, I've been paid to appear in many NYC TV shows. You may have seen me on Law & Order SVU, Blue Bloods or Mercy (which was canceled, though not because of my performance). 

I am currently looking for a new owner, because Kristen's grad school salary of $0 is too little to keep taking care of me. I've been sold twice on eBay, but neither of those buyers really wanted me, so they never came to take me home. 

I am dark green and I have an awesome roof rack that Kristen used to move tons of things!! I've moved a full size bed, a dining room, surfboards, bikes, and more! I am so strong!!!

I need two new tires and my inspection is due at the end of February. I also have a check engine light on, but my doctor said that it's normal for that light to be on in ladies of my age, and that it could be the sensor on the light itself. He assures us it is nothing to worry about, and as a licensed/respected mechanic in the Bay Ridge neighborhood, he would be willing to tell you all about me too if you would like. 

Kristen really has done an excellent job taking care of me since 2009. She gets my oil changed as scheduled, and always makes sure if I get sick, I am immediately taken to the doctor to be repaired. Some things she's repaired include my intake manifold, my air conditioning system, my transmission, my starter, my brakes (though my break lines could probably use a good cleaning and flushing so the brakes don't have to be pressed so far down even though they are new), several new exhaust pipes, new wiring throughout, many new belts and hoses and more. She has kept receipts for everything and will be happy to pass those on to you.

Cosmetically, I recently got two new headlights and side mirrors. Living in NYC is tough and I've had some incidents with neighbors. Once a man parked on top of me, because I sit a bit low to the ground, and when Kristen came out of school, she found my hood dented and no note. She also found that this neighbor damaged my front bumper slightly. You can see this damage in the photos below. 

I was also parked in Bay Ridge one weekend and someone side swiped me in the middle of the night. I have a little crack from that incident as well, which you can see in the photo. The last thing is that I have a small crack in my windshield from the snowstorm of 2012, but it's not large enough to need replaced or to cause me to fail inspection. 

Well, I think that's it about me for now. I am looking for a new home immediately and am ready to get away from all these Bay Ridge folks. Let me know if you would like to meet me and potentially take me home. 

Below is a review and all technical specs, from theautochannel.com. You can call Kristen at 412-480-5838.

Saturn SC2 Three-Door Coupe (2001)

SEE ALSO: Saturn Buyer's Guide
by Carey Russ

Coupes run from serious (and usually seriously expensive) performance machinery to economical vehicles with more flair than the average sedan. Coupes are cars for people who don't usually need to haul other people and lots of equipment around, and so hold the driver and one to three other passengers. Expensive, fast sports coupes rarely are used for such mundane tasks as commuting and shopping. Inexpensive, economical coupes are, however, very well-suited for such real-world tasks.

Saturn's SC coupe is more "sporty" than "sports," especially when equipped with an automatic transmission. But it has its own distinctive style, revised this year, and offers more practicality than any other coupe thanks to its standard third door.

The Saturn coupe's third door is a wonderful idea. Much like the rear doors now available on many extended-cab pickups, it is a rear-hinged panel that can only be used if the front door is open. It's on the driver's side of the car, an illogical spot for passenger access, but perfect for loading the small to medium items like coats or briefcases that often are tossed over or crunched behind the front seat of a coupe. And it works well for passengers, too, especially when the car is parked in a driveway.

Saturn has done a good job of refining its small sedans, wagons, and coupes over the years. The SC coupes have been restyled for the 2001 model year. More importantly, the interior design is also much improved. The 2001 Saturn SC2 is a stylish and vehicle with more comfort and practicality than is expected from a small coupe.

APPEARANCE: "Saturn swoosh" is the official description of the coupe's shape. Thanks to the Saturn space-frame structure, a major chassis redesign is not necessary when changing body panels. This is good, because nearly all of the 2001 Saturn coupe's body panels except for the passenger cabin and roof have been restyled. It's a Saturn, so all of the vertical panels are still dent, ding, and corrosion-resistant polymer, for peace of mind in parking lots. The result is a futuristic shape, but discernibly a Saturn. A bold character line running on each side from the air intake to the top of the tail emphasizes the coupe's wedge-shaped profile. The headlights and unadorned intake give character to the front. Their styling is completely new, and more rounded than before, but still very reminiscent of the front styling of the first Saturn sedan. The coupe could be described, by other car companies, as more aggressive-looking, but "aggressive" and "Saturn" together? No chance, it's too friendly.

COMFORT: The major Saturn improvements over the years have been to the interior. This makes sense, considering that most people spend more time driving their cars than looking at them. The SC has reasonable interior space for a coupe of its size, and the third door helps make it very useful. It helps passenger access, and is great for tossing packages, jackets, or whatever in the rear seat. It makes that much easier and safer than throwing possibly breakable things over the seatback. The front passenger seat is spring-loaded, and so slides forward easily for off-side passenger access. The coupe's interior was redesigned last year, and has a more mainstream, integrated design than was found in previous Saturns. The separate central pod holding the climate control and audio systems is gone, replaced by controls incorporated into the central part of a one-piece molding. The Saturn coupe's seats are well-designed and comfortable, and may be had with leather upholstery. Small touches including automatically-dimming "theater" interior lighting and a standard CD player add an upscale feeling to the SC2.

SAFETY: The 2001 Saturn SC2 has a sturdy steel spaceframe chassis with front and rear crush zones, dual reduced-force airbags, an engine- immobilizing antitheft system, and available head curtain side air bags.

ROADABILITY: The SC2 is more "sporty" than "sports," but is nimble and entertaining to drive. It's also small enough to fit easily into tight parking spaces. The "swoosh" styling benefits more than the looks, as the good aerodynamic shape has low levels of wind noise and good stability in strong winds. Improvements to soundproofing over the years have made Saturns much quieter.

PERFORMANCE: The SC2 uses the dual-overhead cam version of Saturn's 1.9-liter inline four-cylinder engine. Its 124 horsepower and 122 lb-ft of torque are an improvement over the SC1 single overhead cam engine's 100 hp and 114 lb-ft. My test car had the four-speed automatic transmission, the logical choice for a sporty-but-practical urban runabout and commute vehicle. The automatic does absorb some power compared to the five-speed manual gearbox, but makes traffic less unbearable. Acceleration is quick enough so merging and passing are not problems.

CONCLUSIONS: Continuous refinement has kept the Saturn SC2 coupe contemporary.

    GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

    Thu, May 15 2014

    The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.

    General Motors Recall List

    Wed, Oct 22 2014

    It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.

    GM appears to repurpose Saturn Outlook parts on new Acadia

    Thu, 09 Feb 2012

    General Motors unveiled the company's refreshed GMC Acadia at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show yesterday, and if you were paying attention, you may have noticed something curious about the vehicle. While the new Acadia looks considerably better than its predecessor, a few components of the design looked more than a little familiar. Upon closer observation, it appears that GM has simply repurposed elements of the now defunct Saturn Outlook crossover on the 2013 Acadia. Both vehicles seem to share the same wrap-around rear glass, back hatch, tail light openings and exaggerated, squared-off fender arches.
    While the vehicles are differentiated by badging, tail lamps and a rear valance, there's no denying the similarities toward the vehicle's rear. Up front, both share similar fenders, though adjustments have been made for the varying headlight designs.
    That's good news if you just can't imagine life without the Saturn Outlook.
