At time of purchase: master cylinder squeaked. promptly fixed by dealer
at 80,000 miles: Factory tires replaced
at 90,000 miles: A wire on the alternator became loose and prevented the car from running.
At 140,000 miles: Cascade effect. Rear break cylinder leaking, water pump leaking, thermostat in need of replacement.
suprisingly peppy for a four cylinder engine. While rating at only around 100 horse power my '95 Saturn can outrun stock '01 civics and cavaliers.
Handling was a nice sharp turn radius and quite responsive in general. The lean was a little much during very sharp turns, but in all the car stayed glued to the road.
Insane economy. I would average 33mpg driving around st louis highway and city averaged together. Excellent fuel saver.
Road noise. My biggest complaint on this vehicle it is rather loud especially around 70mph and during heavy acceleration.
In all. 10 years, 142,500 miles. Consider the fact mine was driven pretty hard and wasn't maintained all that well.
You seem to know your Saturn's. How can you tell if you have a SL, SL1 or SL2. It must be simple.

Hi, I don't know.. I know I have a 1994 Saturn SL. I don't know if it is the SL or the SL1. The SL2 has the bigger engine. I think the 125HP One. The SL and the SL1 has the 85 HP One.
SL1 is a Single Overhead Camshaft engine, a SL2 is a Dual Overhead Camshaft Engine.
Open the hood, if it says OHC it's an SL1, if it says DOHC it's an SL2.
SL is the body\chassis style. (SL=Sedan Level (4 doors), SC=Sport Coupe (2 doors)
Hope that helps someone.
