1997 Saturn SL 2 review from North America
"Very reliable and inexpensive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Besides regular maintenance, the only repairs I have put into it is a water pump shortly after the warranty expired, a starter, and a temperature sensor.
I have never even had to replace a strut or CV boot, so I am just amazed with that.
General comments?
I love my 1997 Saturn SL2. I get 50/mpg on the highway.
It is an excellent car, drives great, I just love to get out on the highway and drive it.
All round reliable car, and I'm sure I will get another enjoyable 100000kms out of it.
