2001 Saturn SL review from North America
"The car is a big fraud"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been the worst buying experience. The car stalls, the engine mounts are out of place and it has had more than its share of electrical problems. Needless to say the Saturn dealer has completely destroyed my dashboard. It had definitely been the worst buying experience.
General comments?
With Saturn either you buy a car that lasts a long time or one that gives up on you around 50K the problem is you never know if you are going to get a good car, so why bother on even taking the risk.
