1999 Saturn SL review from North America
"If Saturn was the only car made, I would ride a bicycle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The doors have always leaked when raining or washing the car.
I had to have the oxygen sensor replaced 4 months ago.
My head gasket blew at 59,000 miles, for no obvious reason.
Sometimes the ignition switch gets stuck and will not turn.
General comments?
It is good on gas.
I've never had a major problem out of it until this year.
Customer service at both dealer and company is not what they preach it to be.
