1996 Saturn SL 2 review from North America
"The best first car a girl could ask for!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am a twenty year old female and this was my first car, so needless to say I could have taken better care of it and so could have the previous owner.
The headliner is coming off, but it was already torn when I purchased it. I just have used a spray glue to keep it up.
I have replaced the starter, the alternator, and the head gasket. Although all those replacements have been after 100,000 miles.
General comments?
I absolutely LOVE my Saturn and I highly recommend them to anyone! Besides, all the problems I have had, the majority of cars have these problems much before I did.
Although the car has been the result of 3 speeding tickets because of it's great get up and go.
It also gets great gas mileage!
