1997 Saturn SL review from North America
"A good car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Recently had to replace starter. $200.00 Can. Funds.
Electrical component blew.
Rear, driver side door jammed close.
Replaced Muffler twice.
Dash cracked.
Regular maintenance of brakes.
Uses a lot of oil.
Steering seems to be getting a little shaky.
General comments?
I really do love my Saturn. Things have only started to go wrong with it within the last year, and I'd say it is because of the amount of Km's that we have put on it. It is not expensive to fix if you don't take it to the dealer. The car is comfortable and does drive well. This car is very good on gas.
