"as one of the later cars that Saturn produced, the Relay was one of four badge-engineered variants produced by various GM subsidiaries. It was a four-door minivan built alongside the Buick Terraza, the Chevrolet Uplander, and the Pontiac Montana. It's the cheapest Saturn you can get on the used car market.

Like most Saturns, the Relay is pretty sturdy. Saturn tried to market the Relay as a crossover sports van due to the V-6 engine under the hood but that's a bit of a stretch. It really was just too unrefined to be a good choice when it was on the market, and age hasn't made it better.
Pros
Well laid-out interior
Sturdy transmission
Look for models with all-wheel drive
Cons
Its V-6 isn't very refined, even by 2005 standards
Seats aren't as adjustable as competitors
