1998 Saturn SL review from North America
"Saturns are reliable with some maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went out at 140,000 miles.
Serpentine Belt and Tensioner Pulley needed replacing at 224,000 Miles.
General comments?
Both my saturns have been great cars, they both are now nearing 230,000 miles and have only had maintenance work done on them. I am very pleased with saturn and could recommend one. My entire family owns saturns and all of them have been reliable vehicles.
