Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
All models add a standard front-passenger airbag, along with non-motorized seatbelts and a redesigned dash and steering wheel. Improvements to the base engine result in 15 more horsepower (for a total of 100) and slightly more torque. An in-dash CD player is no longer available, but a trunk-mounted changer is now optional. SC1 coupes receive new high-back front seats, while all coupes get new front-end treatments and revised wheel covers.

1995 Saturn S-Series SL2 4dr Sedan
The most reliable car ever! I owned Japanese vehicles for countless years, but the Saturn has beat them all.
My two Honda's ate threw alternators like crazy and the hood release cord on the one snapped, which meant no access.
My darling Saturn has been unbelievably dependable with minimal issues.

1995 Saturn S-Series SL2 4dr Sedan
My 2005 was the first of seven Saturns and by far the best.
Reliability, fuel economy, handling in snow all exceeded my expectations.
The dealer was outstanding and made the experience one I shared with everyone I knew.
Had GM not tried to standardize the service and product into the mainstream of its other economy lines,
I am sure Saturn could have survived the last shrink down. This … was a tough, safe, reliable car that I enjoyed thoroughly.
Very reliable car with a catch.

1995 Saturn S-Series SL2 4dr Sedan
So, this car is 21 years old now, so I doubt anyone is actually looking at buying a used SL-2, but here's the skinny. I am the 2nd owner, having bought it from my brother. I have done essentially no maintenance on it, aside from fixing things when they break. That would include alternator and valve cover gasket. Door locks and power windows have been great, which I have found to be a … rarity in other cars. The cabin is loud from road rumble, but not bad if you turn up the stereo (more on that later). At ~ 120K miles, the tranny will start slipping, and it will gradually get worse. I'm at 150K now, and it's unbearable. I would fix it and keep this car if not for one thing that every 90's era Saturn owner probably knows. This car is an open invite to prowlers and car thieves. If you have one or more Saturn keys, you can walk through a parking lot and probably open and test drive any other Saturn there. It's been broken into (without the need to actually "break" anything) multiple times, and stolen once. I have a big gaping whole where my custom stereo used to be. I would happily buy a newer used Saturn that has (or I could put in) an alarm system.

1995 Saturn S-Series SW2 4dr Wagon
This car has a lot of potential. I put good money into it and I even race it! Sex appeal is 100% if you know what your doing. I paid $500 for it, but its net worth now exceeds $5,000. Being a DOCH makes it faster and easier to repair. 137,000 miles and due to being a good mechanic and using nothing but the best, she's a prize! Literally a head turner. Pep boys recently screwed her motor … so I suggest to stay away from them, but I will make the necessary repairs myself for little cost. Contact me with ANY questions you may have. If you own one, I can help make it GREAT! grimandjess2014@gmail.com - Name is Grim
