I have an early model Saturn which I got for free (thanks) and I agree they feel way too plasticy. A lot of that has to do with their dent-resistant panels. Since they are plastic, they grow and shrink in heat and cold so they are sized and placed to account for these changes. Unfortunately, that makes the Saturn seem cheap. I do have two things to say about my saturn (SL1): first, it has never had any enigne problems and second it is designed to be safe. I know at least three people who escaped death or serious injury because they were in a Saturn.
