1996 Saturn SC review from North America
"A good small car good for a single short person with no family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Too small for a family, and you have to almost get on the ground to get in. Head room is not there for someone over 5' 5" unless you lay way back in the car.
Interior is junk, this car's plastic is vibrates all over the place. At each RPM you get a different vibration from somewhere in the car. This includes at idle.
Sun roof does not seal well, and I have problems with getting in after rain and get soaked.
Because you are "crawling in the car", the edges of the seats have holes in them.
In a crash, the plastic body acts like an indy car and explodes on impact; instead of fixing a dent with a little bondo, you have to replace a panel with the right color, and if your car has faded, the panel won't match.
General comments?
The car is very sporty and handles great in turns.
Great gas saver and with decent pickup in a 1.9 L.
Best idea that I have ever seen was this the "oil filter type" transmission filter.
