Hmmm... you should check out the repair records in the 1995 Consumer
Reports Buyers' Guide;  my admittedly hasty look at the Saturn ratings 
saw top ratings in all categories except for body integrity and something
else (electrical?) in the 92 and 93 models.   Looks quite above middle
of the pack to me.  What issue are you referring to?  I'd like to check
it out.

Hmmm... lacking compared to Honda perhaps, but I'd hardly call that 
lacking...

True, but take into account that upset people like to bitch while happy
people are usually quiet, or don't take the trouble to respond to such
things.  Check out any name brand personal computer group, and you'll
see the same thing.   Judging from those newsgroups I should never buy
any brand of computer ever!  They all break down!

Having an open mind doesn't mean believing whatever anyone says, especially
with nothing to back them up.
