1996 Saturn SL review from North America
"Good general car for the general driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
General wear and tear items nothing unexpected. A brake master cylinder went bad though, but at 85000 miles.
General comments?
This is a great car for the economy minded driver. It's a no-frills vehicle and handles and performs as such. Cheap to buy (originally) and cheap to own.
