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 calling in 56k Saturn Aura sedans over shift cables

    Thu, 08 May 2014

    General Motors may have made a few mistakes when it came to the whole ignition-switch debacle, and it will likely be dealing with the consequences for some time to come. But you have to hand it to Mary Barra and her team, because they're determined to clean house and avoid the same mistakes. That's why the biggest of the Big Three automakers in Detroit has been issuing recalls left, right and Renaissance Center. Aside from those vehicles fitted with the faulty ignition switches, GM has recalled over 50,000 Cadillac SRXs, another 50 heavy-duty pickups and some 51,000 full-size crossovers. There are bound to be more to come, and now it's issued another 50k-unit recall over faulty shift cables in the transmission.
    The recall affects 2007 and 2008 Saturn Auras fitted with the four-speed automatic transmission manufactured between April 24, 2006, and October 31, 2007. The recall doesn't affect models equipped with the six-speed automatic, or for that matter any of the Aura's Epsilon platform-mates like the Chevy Malibu, Pontiac G6, Opel Signum and Vectra, Saab 9-3 or - carrying over from Fiat's aborted partnership with GM - the Fiat Croma, although many of those models used the same 4T40 transmission employed in the Aura.
    In the affected vehicles, the shift cable might fracture while in motion, preventing the transmission from shifting into Park or the ignition from switching off, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration figures could lead to the car rolling away. Hence the recall of 56,214 units in the United States, owners of which can expect to hear from their dealership in due course to have the necessary components replaced.

    Car thief lands Saturn on Fresno roof

    Fri, 06 Jan 2012

    Residents of a Fresno, California apartment building recently awoke to debris falling from their ceiling after a car thief managed to execute a perfect parking job on the structure's roof. Police say 26-year-old Benjamin Tucker stole the Saturn sedan from a nearby house before striking either a curb or some rocks, vaulting the vehicle into the air and onto the roof. After seeing his predicament, Tucker leapt from the roof and fled the scene. Or at least he tried to. Tucker broke his leg in the fall and only made it around a quarter of a mile from the crash when police picked him up.
    No one else was harmed in the stunt.
    Tucker had two outstanding warrants for his arrest at the time for a hit-and-run and evading police. A special crane had to be called in to remove the Saturn from the apartment roof and the structure will indeed require repairs. Hit the jump for a news report on the incident.

    Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

    Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
    Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
    All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
