Re: Help with Ford Escort vs. Saturn S-series
Saturns are good cars overall. 4 bangers in general burn oil more than other engines, though Saturn is one of the worst. As a former Saturn owner I have to say maintenence is key in order for them to run a long time. Are you mechanically inclined? Doing your own maintenence is best. Oil change every 3000 miles and not a mile over no matter if you use synthetic, non-synthetic, or part-synthetic. Keep EGR valve and throttle body clean. Its best to use the recommended NGK spark plugs. Don't ever put platinum plugs on a Saturn. Swap out the ECTS for the brass tipped unit from Saturn if it hasn't been done already. These are a few thing to think about from the top of my head when owning these cars. My dad is on his third Saturn and has been trouble free on all of them.
