1997 Saturn SC SC2 review from North America
"Great car and very reliable for someone with a small budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cooling motor needed replaced in 2002. Shifter came unhooked from the transmission, and I had to use wire ties to reattach it. It worked until I sold it 3 years later. Both doors leak like unbeleivable. The dealer said it can't be fixed.
General comments?
The car is extremely reliable. The only problem that I have is that when you need to replace something on the car you can't just buy the one part from the dealer... you have to buy the complete assembly.
