2001 Saturn SL review from North America
"I should have got two of these at $10,000"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission linkage had become disconnected. Thanks to this site I was able to fix it in the parking lot at Lowes while on the phone with my brother.
General comments?
This car, until now, has been flawless. Fuel economy is been great, around 40 hwy, 33 city.
It does use around 1/2 qt of oil between oil changes. I'm not sure where the oil goes because it doesn't appear to burn it and I have no leaks or oil spots in my driveway. For the $10,000. I paid for this car in 2001 I can't imagine a better value.
