1997 Saturn SL review from North America
"Excellent combination of sport and luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The muffler had to be replaced about a year ago and I think there is a small leak in the radiator, but other than routine maintenance I have had no problems.
General comments?
Saturn never ceases to amaze me.. this is my second Saturn. I had a '94 Saturn which unfortunately met an untimely death after coliding with a Chevy Blazer. I had virtually no problems with it in the 2 1/2 years that I had it. I wouldn't be surprised if this car saw a million miles.
