I just bought a Saturn (trip report)

When I graduated high school my parents bought me a car. I got a used 2000 Firebird, it was 2001. Turned out that car had been hit and seriously injured before I bought it. Flash to about a year ago and one side of the car start falling apart. I try to keep it up but it keeps geting worse and thanks to a lucky run in X and a few other good investments decided to get myself a car. My parents have had saturns and liked them and since they are about 2500 less than their counterparts I gave it a try. Got myself the max power ION 3 with manual transmission (my first car was and I have been stuck ever since). I approached the car with the idea that it would work out since it was cheap and it was the first car I bought for myself and was brand new so I could deal with it not being great. I love the car. The interior is well designed. Everything is well reachable. Visibility is great and so is the ride. I got the extra horsepower package and the car can pull when it needs to.
To anyone looking for a great cheap car, check saturn. I'm impressed.

Now if only someone from saturn reads this and gives me some money.

What is the stereo system like in it? Os it power locks/windows? About how much did it cost?

I had to get the XM radio plus good speakers installed. Its not as good as the Monsoon systtem that was in my Firebird but it is above average for a factory install. It could use a sub. Power Windows/Locks automatically included.
I passed on very few features and the quote plus taxes came just over 18,000 then I got $500 off for finacing plus a 500 gift card to target (XBBOX 360 here I come) and they gave me a great amount of trade in for my broke ass firebird.
