1998 Saturn SL SL1 review from North America
"A reliable plastic-shelled economy car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
Great dealer service.
Good crisp, responsive handling.
Good acceleration.
Seats are firm, yet comfortable and supportive.
It pulls about 40 miles to the gallon.
The trunk is big, for a little car.
Plastic panels are nice, as they don't dent or scratch easily.
Overall, it is a great economy car. It gets great mileage, has the best dealer service in the country, and is very reliable.
