1995 Saturn SL review from North America
"A good car and a good friend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far I've had to have the fly wheel reground twice.
I've replaced the clutch cables once.
I've replaced the alternator twice.
The starter once.
The muffler once.
Finally replacing the seats @ 308k miles and replaced myriad of sensors and whatnot throughout the years.
And yes, it does burn a quart about every 1000 miles.
General comments?
This car has been great. I bought it new in 1995 and have driven it daily accumulating over 308,000 miles.
It's fun and easy to work on for small things, and the big things don't break. I always keep up with oil changes and simple maintenance issues.
I have driven the car to all the lower 48 states in all kinds of cruel weather. It's been a good car for years with decent gas mileage. I'm amazed daily it still runs, but I'm shooting for 400k. I mean why not, I never thought it would make it to 150K.
