1993 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America
"An excellent, reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain went bad after 20000 miles (was replaced for free and has never been a problem again).
The lever that controls airflow has broken several times.
General comments?
This car has been in the family for 10 years now and has been the most reliable car we have owned.
Even with some neglect in maintenance the cars reliability is amazing.
I will have to admit the interior is very cheap and the seats feel like they could use some extra padding.
The performance of this sedan is very good, It accelerates very quickly compared to other sedans like the Civic or the Cavalier.
Overall I think Saturns are very good reliable cars
