2000 Saturn LS review from North America
"Avoid cars made by Saturn, and stick with Honda or Toyota!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My timing belt slipped twice.
The antifreeze leaked.
My car starts only when it feels like it.
General comments?
I really adored my car when my dad first got it for me, but now, it's a totally different story. Once I received the title for my car, everything started to fall apart.
I'm a college student and I have enough problems of my own. Of course, though, my car wishes to create more.
On my way to class one day, my timing belt slipped so my dad had to make a 2 hour drive to tow it back home and have it repaired for over $2,000. Then my coolant tube had a hole in it, maybe the size of a push pin, and it would hold antifreeze for maybe a day and 1/2.
Finally, my engine will turn over, but it won't start. I have to drive to class and work everyday so my car has really been letting me down. It's costing way too much money and time and causing too much stress. I cannot wait to get another car, and hopefully this time my dad will listen when I say I want a Toyota or a Honda!! GEEZ!!
