Used 1999 Saturn S-Series SL2 4dr Sedan Consumer Reviews
Would buy again!
I bought this car in Spring of 2001. It had almost 45,000 mles and came loaded. While it was a little more than I wanted to spend at the time due to all of the extras it has been worth every penny! It has had one "expensive" repair (fuse block) and an exhaust repair; it is now in need of a new rear main oil pan repair as gasket is completely worn away. It has been a great car and I will probably shell out the bucks for this repair. It now has over 150,000 miles on it and I am currently getting 30-34 mpg! It has been the best and most reliable car I have owned. Twin cam engine is a plus also
Saturn SL2
Good choice for small sedan. Mine has been reliable, fuel efficient, and is very cheap to insure. Excellent reliability. Best dealer network in the business. Plastic sides prevent door dings and rust in New England.
Simply the best
Owning this car has been a joy. It's safe(ABS brakes and traction control) in all New England weather); it gets good gas mileage and it has never failed to start. We just never worry about whether the car will perform. It does. We have been careful with the oil change schedule and we follow the dealer's maintainence recommendations
saturn eval
Very reliable. It is fun to drive and gets great mileage. The 5 speed transmission is very smooth. I tow it behind an RV as well and it works out great.
Only dealerships worse than car
The car, except for the leaky interior and poor gas mileage, isn't so bad. At least not since I had to hire a lawyer to get Saturn to honor their warranty when the transmission went bad. I've been to 4 dealerships in 3 states and one had worse service than another. Calling the corporate office was a nightmare. The car would roll backwards when on the slightest incline, although it was in drive [it's an automatic] and they tried to convince me that's the way it's supposed to work. I will never buy a Saturn again. The rumor of good gas mileage is unfounded. I have never gotten good mileage from this car. Every other car I've driven I've been able to obtain higher than listed gas mileage. Bye
