1996 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America
"Stable driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator replacement 2 times, EGA valve. Rotors, front right caliper assemble, Front Brake pads, and Oil consumption although it passes emissions just fine, can't find the oil egress. Sunroof stopped operating, dealer replaced the Motor and then it worked 2 times, now it is locked shut and I am tired of screwing with either of them.
General comments?
Car is almost all original and seems to keep going. My goal is 200k. Drives predictably and has great driver ergonomics. Visibility is outstanding. A V6 would have been the ticktet if the dependability was as good as the 4 cylinder.
