1997 Saturn SL 2 review from North America
"A comfy little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power window motor on the passenger window stopped working. The window would go down, and stay down.
The "Service Engine Soon" light stays on when nothing is wrong.
General comments?
The car is very stable on the roads in extreme weather like snow, rain, and ice.
The steering is pretty stable at high speeds.
The interior is very comfortable and "homey".
It's possible to get 35 miles to a gallon in this car.
