That was one of the things we loved about Saturn's vehicles -- they were designed to crumple around the passengers, drop the engine block on the road, and generally absorb all impact stresses. Helen's worst injury, IIRC, is a cut on her foot that needed stitches. The car did what it was promised to do in that situation, which was sacrifice itself for the people in it. If Saturn still existed, they would get a testimonial from me a yard long (and I would have bought one instead of a Hyundai last fall).
14 years, relatively trouble free. The biggest repairs I had to do was replace the belt (under $100), the secondary air injection valve (a little over that), and the radiator (about $150, OEM radiator, had my brother's help as he'd done two Saturn SL radiators already).
