1997 Saturn SL SL1 review from North America
"For people with modest needs and means"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown engine at 90,000 kms.
Constant rattles from everywhere.
"Service engine soon" light keeps coming on, but dealer cannot locate the problem (if any...).
General comments?
Pretty inexpensive given all the equipment (all-electric + air).
Seating is too low.
