I needed a new alternator and new brakes at 95,000 miles.
I bought this car new, and after 8 years and 96,000 miles this is the only repair I've had to do on this wonderful car.
I would highly recommend this car. In the 8 years I've owned it, and I'm the original owner, I've only done 2 repairs- a new alternator and brakes. I've changed the oil every 3000 since purchased.
My car still gets 35 miles to the gallon.
I only have 2 complaints.
The first is that the car is noisy- you can hear the outside road noise and sometimes I have to play the radio really loud to hear it.
The car rides low, you really feel low to the ground when you are in the driver's seat.
I agree with you. I have owned a 1995 Saturn SL since it was brand new and have had no problems with it. It now has almost 400,000 kms on it and it is starting to burn oil. I am very happy with this car and would recommend a Saturn to anyone.
