1997 Saturn SL SL1 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My car wouldn't start up one day, and it was a sensor, and it cost me like 200 bucks to get it fixed. 105,000 miles.
Brake pads replaced... 100,000 miles.
New exhaust put on, 176,000 miles.
New oil pan - 170,000 miles.
General comments?
I bought this car at an auction, and it had almost 100,00 miles on it when I bought it.
It has been a very reliable car for the 7 years that I've owned it. A great starter car, but then you need an upgrade to power locks and windows.
It doesn't have any power anything on it. It's good on gas mileage. 30mpg.. My car has 199,000 miles now and it's still running good.
I'm eventually going to sell it and buy a car with power everything, and of course cruise control. Saturn doesn't have power locks or cruise control.
