1994 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America

Replaced alternator.

Replaced starter twice in a year.

Replaced valve cover gasket two weeks after I bought it. Needs another one now. Burns a lot of oil, even after the gasket was replaced.

Replaced radiator and also reservoir tank. Uses a lot of coolant fluid. It's not leaking, but the light comes on at least every other month.

Replaced headliner.

Passenger side window in the back will not roll down. Motor has gone out on it.

Seats are worn very badly. They actually rock back and forth when I turn a curve.

Automatic seat belt is not working on the driver side, it stopped in the middle of the track. Now I have to ride with my seatbelt half choking me.

This car is very loud and not very comfortable for road trips. Especially since the seat on the driver side have worn and I am actually leaning a bit while I am driving.

If I am ever running late in the morning and it is raining outside, all I need to do is take a bar of soap to my car and take a bath while I am driving because the driver and passenger side windows leak just that bad.

Don't count on passing cars unless you have at least a mile of clearance, especially if the air conditioner is on. Very poor pick up speed.

I've gotten my money's worth out of this car. I've taken several trips in it and it has never left me on side of the road. I haven't spent an extremely large amount of money to repair the car considering the age of it.

Makes a good second vehicle to beat around town in.
