1996 Saturn SL SL1 review from North America
"Great little car, super vehicle, no complaints at all"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has required vary little maintenance other than the norm. Had to replace AC parts last June.
No other problems.
General comments?
Great gas mileage 30/34 in CA. Just towed it to AZ behind our Motorhome. Got gas in AZ and the Saturn got 34/38mpg. CA gas just doesn't hack it.
Car accelerates, drives, handles great. This car was purchased to be towed behind our RV. Has subsequently ended being driven more than our 98 Passport and 92 Acura in the past year. Have been loyal Honda/Acura owners since 1975. Would most definitely buy another Saturn!
