1997 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only problems thus far have been overheating problems. I am new with cars, but I got the thermostat and radiator fixed and it seems to do better. I am still uncomftorable, however, with driving the car with the coolant temperature at around halfway up.
General comments?
I love my Saturn. I personally think it has quite a bit more pickup than people give it credit for. Especially with performance mode on. It is a 4-Cylinder, I know, but I can merge on to highways at 80mph. I think that's more than enough acceleration than you need.
