1997 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America
"A money saving rocket!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing mechanical has gone wrong with this car. The only thing that I personally would complain about would be the "rattly" sounds the interior gives out all the time. Along with some odd engine noise that happens when the car is warming up. (I still can't figure out the cause of this noise) But neither of these sounds are big enough to run by the dealer about.
General comments?
This car is the complete package. The car has adequate head and legroom, trunk space to fit me and my buddies' golf clubs and on long drives the seats are very comfortable.
Performance wise, this car flies! For a four cylinder this car has more than enough power to show off to the guys or gals.
Another plus would have to be the gas mileage. I basically never have to buy the stuff. 30 mpg easy!
Overall this is a great car that will do anything that a civic will do only it costs a whole heap less and also looks original.
