new (old) satrun owner :)
Hi,
Just wanted to get my feet wet in the forums, I just purchased a 2001 Saturn SL1 5 speed with 212K, LOVE IT!!!! I took my 2007 Ford Edge with 170K off the road this winter, that's how nice this little car is to drive in snow/ice, compared to the high tech abs, traction control that leaves me stuck going up hills and sliding through intersections in the Edge. If the Saturn could tow a 5000 lb trailer id sell the Edge. Can't believe I missed out on this little gem of a car for all these years. I Avg. roughly 10L/100KM (in the Saturn) and that's with heavy city driving in the winter with alot of idle time in between stops. Coming down from 20L/100KM (in the Edge) was a huge savings, i paid for the car in two weeks with the gas I saved (I am a delivery driver). Anyways that's my welcome to Saturn story, P.s. (no rust ;) hell yeah especially with all the salt Ontario likes to dump all over its roads. |
Welcome to the forum, man. We love to hear how much people love their Saturns. Happy motoring and enjoy the hell out of it.

Welcome. Watch the oil level till you get to know the car a bit better since you are doing some heavy driving it seems

Hey Derf, you ever wonder why the critics hated Grand Funk Railroad so much but we, the public, bought millions of their records? I still like their music!
|
Populist Music. They just played R&R.

I got out early this morning to go check the water in my mothers house. Zero degrees on the car thermometer and turned on the radio. Grand Funk singing Loco-Motion. What a hoot!
|
thanks for the tip derf! i checked and i burn a little bit of course, but that was during a rather heavy footed break-in test. I'll keep watch now that its all checked up. 1/2 litre in 3000km is not too bad considering i was in the high rpm range cleaning out the carbon.
