Used 1994 Saturn S-Series Sedan Consumer Reviews
I Got A Car !!
I bought this car a couple of months ago and so far I love it. When I bought it the driver side seat belt was the only thing that didn't work. It also got 39 mpg on the highway. Go buy a Saturn SL2, you'll love it!!
183000 miles!
This was the first real car I bought (meaning, it wasn't a $700 piece of junk or given to me by my sister). I have had it since 1997 (bought for $10,000) and it now has 183,000 miles. It has served me well for 7 years and I would probably keep it but minor things are starting to go wrong and I just don't want to keep putting money into it (the sunroof is broken, the window sticks sometimes, etc.) But, I have NEVER replaced the clutch...and have mainly done simple routine maintenance.
Very dependable
I've been driving my 1994 Saturn since it was new. Except for oil, tires and a new alternator, I've never had any mechanical problems. It's a little slow to accelerate, but it only has 85 hp. It gets great gas mileage. The only thing that has broken is the plastic loop that keeps the seat belt attached to the seat (at your waist). While a bigger car would be nice, I'll still be driving it for a few more years as it is only 8 this month and mechanically sound!
amw
I had a transmission problem the first week I owned the car. The dealer fixed it and extended my warranty at no cost to me. The sunroof got stuck open at the end of my warranty, but because I had reported problems earlier, they fixed it under warranty. Besides these 2, I have had no problems over the life of the car.
Who Knew?
Who Knew that a Saturn was a good car. I wrecked my old car and needed another to commute 40 miles round trip to work. I cam across a '94 SL1 with 35K miles on it......I did a double take, and investigated and it looked to be a real deal. My first driving impressions was that it was ok, but it grew on me. Odometer went out and had to be repaired, but other than that, its a winner. It rides well and has decent performance. You will like the fuel economy and the reliability.
