Completely unimpressed. The only thing that it had going for it was that nothing broke. Outside of that, it was underpowered, not good looking, barely fit 3 people (though I once put 9 in it) and generally speaking un-loveable. Every other car I've had in my life, I've really enjoyed driving. That Saturn was nothing but a tool. A tool that served the purpose of locomotion quite well, but quite without interest.

You forgot the first-gen Saturns, which were quite good (I owned one and loved it - about 98% as good as the Civic or Corolla of the day). I commented to your widdle bitty article.

I like the higher gas mileage and feel more comfortable manuvering a small car. The Focus is the only option from a Detroit company. Thus I end up looking at Mazdas and Toyotas.
