1994 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America
"Very poor quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator went bad.
Gaskets replaced at 60,000.
Overheating problems yet to be diagnosed.
Burns a lot of oil.
Brakes.
Seat wearing badly.
General comments?
Very unreliable, seems always something going wrong with it. Previous owner sold due to problems, I now find out. I would never recommend or ever buy another Saturn or GM product.
