I just bought a 2002 SL1, 49785 miles on it, from my local Saturn dealer. It seems to be running well (I'm not a mechanic at all). It's a
4-cylinder, so it doesn't have that "punch" you like when merging onto a freeway, but I can deal with that. It's reliability I'm after. Anyway, what can I expect for this car? Any known problems that might be cropping up in the future? I plan to have regular maintenance done, along with some of the extras like flushing the engine. Also, any suggestions on making the car a little more peppy? I don't do car work myself, so it would be things I would ask the dealership to do for me. (Well, I could put in additives myself of course!)It doesn't have cruise control. I had CC installed by a dealer in a Nissan years ago, and it never did work quite right. Any word on installing CC in an SL1? Again, it would be the dealer doing the work.
