1997 Saturn SC SC2 review from North America
"Saturn: fun and function"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator went after I had it 2 weeks; I made the dealer fix it.
It goes through a lot of oil, like the other reviews I have read on this site.
General comments?
After owning a Tempo, this car is a big step up in terms of performance and reliability.
I enjoy driving this car. She corners quite nicely. Even though it is a 4 cylinder, the DOHC makes a big difference. She has a lot of get-up-and-go.
The only problem is that I have to constantly add oil to it.
