2000 Saturn SL review from North America
"Best car I ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car needed a tune up at 76k miles.
General comments?
This is absolutely the most trouble free car I have ever owned.
The car has 105000 miles and is all original. By that I mean the tires, brakes, windshield wipers, transmission fluid etc. are all original.
I had to replace the spark plugs at 76000 miles, and I've done oil changes. I've never done anything else to this car and it runs perfectly. I've never rotated the tires, and I've never had to have the car realigned.
My wife has a 1993 SC2. Her car needed tires at 85000 miles, brakes at 100000, a clutch/throwout bearing at 120000, and we just got the radiator flushed/filled at 130000.
My wife's car averages 36 mpg and my car averages 41 mpg.
I never owned an easier car than a Saturn.
