1994 Saturn SL SL2 review from North America
"Very fast for a 4-cylinder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the brake rotors re-surfaced at 130,000 miles.
Front passenger seat reclining gears stripped, taken care of by a re-call.
Padding in seats wearing out at 100,000 miles.
Alignment at 130,000 miles.
General comments?
I've only had my Saturn for 6 months and it hasn't let me down yet. Handles great and with it's Twin-Cam motor it will smoke most 4-cylinder cars. I get an average of 35-37 mpg mixed driving. Wasn't shure about Saturn because they are a new company, but so far so good.
