1995 Saturn SW 1 review from North America
"Money pit"
General comments?
Well, let me start out by saying how glad I am that I found this site. I’m not the only one!
I bought a 1995 SW1 in 2002 with approximately 200k kilometers and from day one I started having oil burning/leaking problems.
It got to the point where I was putting in a quart of oil every time I gassed-up and changing the spark plugs every 6 months.
Like others, my experiences with the dealership were costly and a complete waste of time.
For some reason I thought the later models did not have the engine issues, and was seriously contemplating purchasing a more recent Saturn, but after reading these reviews I definitely will not!
