1996 Saturn SC SC2 review from North America
"Love this car and would buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator died at 65,000 miles.
Driver's seat is showing some wear.
General comments?
Good acceleration and performance for a 4-cylinder engine.
Love the polymer door panels. They were especially nice when I had the car at college.
Back seat is small and not comfortable for long trips, but OK for short trips and very useful for moving things.
Gets 32 mpg in city driving and about 37 mpg highway.
