1999 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America
"Can't beat the quality for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some wind and road noise from the beginning. Minor dash noise.
General comments?
Best car on the market for the money in 1996 and again in 1999. I traded the 96 SL2 for another one in 1999 because it was the best value for the price. Handles well. Peppy for a 4 cylinder engine.
