1995 Saturn SL SL1 review from North America
"Saturn is my car now and will be my next car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I do love my Saturn SL1. If I had any complaints, it would be that as soon as it turned 5 years old, my rotors wore out. I've had to get brake shoes/pads more than once.
It's not the easiest car to warm up quickly.
There are now a lot of pings and knocks when I turn it off, as well as some interior vibrating when driving.
And I've had a constant problem with my 'check engine light' coming on, because of something called a PVC cap or valve. Something I'm told is not crucial to have replaced right away, but does need to be replaced eventually.
General comments?
I will tell anyone who asks, that my next car will be a Saturn.
Gas mileage is great.
Rides very well, although it's not the fastest car there is.
The body still looks good, despite some efforts by shopping carts to ruin it.
It's easy to maintain yourself if you are car handy.
