2002 Saturn SL SL1 review from North America
"40 MPG and great dealer experience"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I was surprised that nothing has gone wrong with this car. All I have ever done has been scheduled maintainance.
General comments?
This car gives me over 39.5 miles per gallon!! My commute is mostly highway miles. My previous commute was mostly city driving and I used to average 33 miles a gallon.
The car was very inexpensive and nearly pristine when we bought it in 2003. We paid 6875.00 USD.
The cabin is very small and drab.
The interior materials look flimsy and cheap. However, they all work and there has been no visible wear and tear.
High wind noise levels inside the cabin.
