Good gas mileage but a bad choice for bad weather.

Where to begin... I owed a saturn for over 10 years and finally sold it.  I do not miss the Saturn AT ALL.  It got excellent gas mileage but I got this at the expence of safe driving.  The frame was mostly made from plastic, making the car extremely light.  This caused many slips in snowy weather as well as hydroplaning in the slightest rain storm.  All it takes in once for a loss of control of the vehicle to know that it is not safe.  Also, the horn is a button.  So when you really need to use it in a hurry, you have to search for the horn, and by then it is too late.
