1999 Saturn S-Series 4 Dr SL1 SedanReview
Great American Automobile At An Affordable Price — The 1999 Saturn SL-1 is an affordable offering from Saturn which is not only easy on the eyes, but also on the wallet. Available with either a 1.9L single overhead cam (SL-1) or a 1.9L dual overhead cam (SL-2) and a manual or automatic transmission, the SL-1 is typically found used in the $3000-6000 range in excellent condition. Owner for 1 years, 6 months Miles Driven per Year:12,000 Pros: Parts are inexpensive, repairs are logical and easy to complete with basic hand tools.
Cons:
Two transmission problems are noted for the automatic transmission in this vehicle. The valve body can cause a slam into reverse after many miles. This is an easy, although expensive, fix, requiring the replacement of the valve body assembly with a rebuilt unit, which costs around $500-600. |

1999 Saturn S-Series 4 Dr SW1 WagonReview
Inexpensive Utilitarian Workhorse — I purchased my Saturn wagon in 2006, with 52k on the odometer. I was looking for a reliable and efficient daily driver, no frills necessary. Having no high expectations for performance, style or luxury, the car suited my needs well. I routinely saw 28+ mpg in city driving. The wagon back was great when moving, or camping. Over 60k miles and five years of ownership, the car never once left me stranded. The SW1 was not without it's faults, though. While power was adequate for city driving, a little more would have been helpful for highway merging or when loaded up with cargo. In retrospect, I wish I would have held out for the twin cam engine - the gas milage is almost identical to the base offering, and twenty more horses is a substantial improvement. The interior was of typical 90's GM (low) quality, with a cacophony of squeaks and rattles. Various panels from under the dash refused to stay in place, to the point where I gave up trying to keep them affixed. While overall reliable, the car did need several repairs beyond basic maintenance - One of the headlights had a habit of burning itself out; the rear wiper motor needed replacement; the engine started burning oil around 90k miles (a common problem for these Saturns, I learned); engine mounts needed replacing at 100k; the transmission began slipping at 115k (also a common occurrence with this transmission). When the transmission started to go, I decided to part ways with the wagon. I had gotten more than my money's worth from it at that point. Overall, I was satisfied with my ownership experience. If the S-series was still in would production, I would consider owning another. As it is now though, the availability of spare parts has to be dwindling for these cars. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Solid fuel economy. Cavernous cargo space. Low cost of ownership. Cons: Underpowered base engine. Crude interior quality. |

1999 Saturn S-Series 4 Dr SL SedanReview
Easily Overlooked-- But Shouldn't Be. — Handles well, quick acceleration, and good fuel economy. Only needed minor repairs, but never let us down. Outside plastic body panels eliminate rust and door dings. Inside could be nicer, but it was a cheap car. Though i will say that the interior is still looking like new. Hauls fairly large items better than many bigger sedans. Fun and economical make it a good choice for a small family car. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: dependable, clean styling, fun to drive Cons: cheap interior, also would reccomend going for a better equipped model that has power door locks and windows. |
