1998 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America

Nothing really serious has gone wrong with the car.

With it being and "older" car I guess it will use a little more oil than Normal. We have to add oil every 2000 miles or so, which is not a very big deal.

The Front right Head light bracket was loose and was getting on my last nerve, so I tightened it up and have had no problems after that.

The inside is quite noisy, and there are a lot of squeaks and rattles, but what can you expect from a 9 year old car.

Over all I think Saturn has made a very reliable car in general. It has never left me stranded, and still has the get up and go for a 130,000 mile car.

This is not the best car to drive in the winter, It is VERY light weight on account of the mostly plastic exterior shell.

It slides very easily in the snow and heavy rain so be prepared to drive way slower. But I must digress, it is a very fun car. It has excellent steering and corners on a dime.

Fuel consumption, I average about 30 mpg, this car has a very small gas tank I might add, Only holds about 9-10 gallons of fuel, so it is very cheap to fill up.

This is my second car{first car was a 86' Jetta}which was pretty much as unreliable as you can get, although It had 260,000 miles on it.

But if you are looking for a car for a student or a first car, purchase this car, plus it is cheap to insure as I am also a teenager!
