1999 Saturn SL 1 review from North America
"Fabulous car, best money I ever spent!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Closing on 60,000 miles and only one repair has been needed, a new light in the dashboard.
Brakes will probably need replacing soon.
General comments?
Driving at 65-70 miles per hour I have gotten 35 miles per gallon on long trips, generally about 32 (miles per gallon) on most highway trips.
I generally get around 27 miles per gallon in residential/city driving.
