Hondas hold up well....Toyotas did hold up well (back in High School when I had one), don't know if the newer ones do as well or not....Saturns hold up well mechanically....exterior/interior does too if someone took care of it. I don't know what the Saturns are like in Canada, but don't buy an early model L Series. They were made in a different factory than their other cars and those first couple of year models had problems. Also, their S series (original series) cars between the years of about 95-97 have been reportedly having big problems as they get older, so you may want to avoid that year model also.
Of course, I'm basing this on talking to Saturn owners in/around Arkansas, so the ones up north may be different. I've had 2 Saturns (98 coupe and 2003 Vue) and I've had no problems with either. I did lots of interstate travelling with the coupe, too.
Good Luck! Let us know what you get! (And don't forget to have an outside mechanic check it out before you buy).
