1998 Saturn SL review from North America
"No comments right now"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car runs rough and is loud.
Very noisy-everything rattles.
Seats are splitting and cracking.
Dome light is on its own time.
Rear "grab handles" came loose and fell off.
Service engine light goes on and off for no apparent reasons.
Cigarette lighter outlet will not work.
Car is having problems starting. Will turn over, but won't catch. Has not so good pick up -not real peppy.
General comments?
Overall I like the car, but it is really sad some things are made so cheap. Have owned the car for a couple of years and have not had too many problems. The muffler did not last and the brakes need replaced more often than expected. Like I said overall it has been an okay car.
