I second the "ask about maintenance" bit, but Saturns in general are fairly reliable from what I hear. Given that one sacrificed itself to save my husband's life once (he was middle car in a three car pileup - the car was totaled but he walked away without an injury), and was Extremely Reliable for him beforehand, I have a soft spot for Saturns.
Yeah, when my partner G was in his accident, Hit mostly head on at high speed by another driver, (Pictures are here) all he got was a broken collarbone from the seat belt. Saturns have great crumple zones. If you notice the nose of the car is about half the length it should be, but the passenger cabin is intact.
