1994 Saturn SL review from North America
"My best bang for my buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This Saturn has 377,000 Km's on it! The brakes are not in good shape at all (front) they will need replacing immediately. Various dash lights are non functional. Various components of the interior are seperating. There seems to be a problem with water leakage from the door seals in heavy rain. The cooling fan is rigged with a toggle switch to keep it on all the time I guess (l0l) The radiator is new in it, and the previous owner says the engine is a rebuilt one.
General comments?
I was truly amazed at how good this car looked, and drove for having almost 400K km's on it when purchased (today) The brakes need fixing, but hey, it cost me 600$ CA to purchase this thing.
The seats are not the most comfortable, they seem rather narrow. The car has a style that looks rather new, and with no rust on the exterior, it looks like a fairly recent car model. I'm just praying the engine doesn't let me down, and it lasts me a year lol. I will have to spend some money on the brakes, but that's about it so far :)
