1995 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America

I'm very happy with my 1995 Saturn SL2. I bought it two years ago to use just as an inexpensive, lightweight, flat-towable car to pull around behind my motor home (I have two other cars), but it's so fun to drive, cheap to operate, and easy to work on it's become my daily driver.

I've discovered an amazing amount of technical information and good people on the Internet that have been very helpful in my performing routine maintenance, needed repairs, and nice-to-have upgrades. It's really become a bit of a hobby car. I enjoy tinkering with it, upgrading it, and making it better. It's so easy to work on it's almost like a modern Model T. At 133,000 miles, it runs and drives almost like a new car. It does consume a bit of oil, but nothing out of the ordinary for its age and mileage (about a quart per 1,500 miles). It's not an issue if you keep an eye on it. I check it once a week like you should with any car, new or used.

As with any other motor vehicle, how they're used and maintained will have a great deal to do with how they perform. Take care of them and they'll take care of you (and learn to do your own maintenance to save a ton of $$$).
