- Ok, here are *MY* opinions. First of all, I've driven a Saturn SL2
- before and I don't like the way the engine sounds. The hum of the
- Sentra SE-R is music to my ears compared to the cacophony of the Saturn.
- Second, I don't like the styling of the Saturn. It looks like my dad's
- Oldsmobile. Third, I don't like anything that is overhyped by the
- freakin' media but has nothing to show for. Fourth, I like something
- that's been around the market for awhile, has a good automotive history,
- and is reliable. Saturn has only 2 years of history which is not
- enough in my book. Nissan has built lots and lots of cars that became
- classic and reliable cars which means that there's a very good chance
- that they will continue building more cars like this. Maybe I'll
- consider a Saturn after its 5th year of *good cars* and *good service*.
- Maybe...
-
- Those are *MY* honest opinions. Happy?
