1997 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America
"A good and quick little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There are very few things that have gone wrong with my Saturn. The dealer replaced the fuel pump for free, as part of a Saturn campaign. The only other problem with it, is that the key will get stuck in the ignition when you try to get it out. It has been like this sense about 40,000 miles. When I took it to the dealer, he said that they had had many complaints about that, but it wasn't a recall. I plan to keep my Saturn until it won't run any more.
General comments?
All and all this is a very nice small car. I would recommend to a small family. This car is very reliable.
