2000 Saturn SL review from North America
"Excellent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gasket problem fixed under warranty by first owner. No problem with that since. Temperature sensor, caused the car to idle at 70 km per hour. Fixed for about $200.
A/c, defrost, recirculate buttons seriously close to cup holders. You guessed it - sticky buttons. Arm rest in door, can't take elbow weight and breaks under the vinyl.
General comments?
Otherwise, Great car. Reliable throughout winter. Rust resistant of course. Excellent economy. Looks good. Wife loves it.
