1993 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America

"Don't waste your time or your money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Since I purchased the car in February of 2007 I have replaced the thermostat, because the car would take almost an hour to come to normal operating temperature, $10 to replace if you do it your driveway, not a big deal, however, within two weeks of replacing the thermostat the cooling fan motor died, the coolant temperature sensor and switch both gave out, costing about $120 again if you do it yourself. At 145,000 miles. the valve cover gasket began severely leaking, I replaced it as per usual. Things went relatively fine if you disregard the automatic seat belts that don't always pull forward and cheap, rattling interior, until 152,000 miles. where the engine seized. I checked the oil level and to my surprise, it was FULL! I have yet to discover the cause of this, so naturally I have come to the conclusion that it seized for no reason.

General comments?

The interior is cheap and uncomfortable, the automatic seat belts often choose to lack you into the car, the air conditioner is hopeless, and it is very unreliable. Gas millage is decent until your in a hurry, then it sucks gas almost as quickly as a v-8.
