The 2001 Saturn SW for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2001 Saturn SW for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2001 Saturn SW for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
What to check on the SW
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and fuel system. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
The 1.9L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
At 8.7 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 26 litres of fuel. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.49, and a 300 km weekend about $40.47. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the SW
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Practical details
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. At 708 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the SW on your commute, then decide. A week with the SW answers more than any brochure.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
