1997 Saturn SC SC2 review from North America
"I'd get another one in a minute."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spark plugs not replaced by previous owner, replaced at 94,000 miles.
P.C.R. valve also not replaced by previous owner, replaced at 94,000 miles.
Paint on hood was chipped when bought, presumably from hail.
General comments?
Manual is quick from a start, outraces several higher performance cars.
Backseat, though only designed to hold two adults comfortably, is spacious without being cramped.
Using only Chevron gas, with about 40% city miles and 60% highway miles, I get about 38 miles per gallon, and havent noticed any increased consumption in oil.
