1999 Saturn SL SL1 review from North America
"Cheap, reliable transportation, but don't get it if you want a lot of performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious has gone wrong so far. I hear a random rattling noise which nobody can seem to pinpoint, but other than that, I have had no problems with my Saturn.
General comments?
This is definetly not a high performance car, which is the only problem I have with it. It is very cheap and reliable. It is an absolutely gorgeous car inside and out. Everyone that sees it thinks it's a 2002 and I love the color.
