The 1992 Saturn SL2 receives a mixed review with a score of 46/100, reflecting Doug DeMuro's respect for the car's innovative design philosophy despite significant drawbacks. Saturn's design and value proposition stand out—the car pioneered futuristic styling with no front grille and a light bar across the back, while establishing the industry-changing no-haggle pricing model that challenged traditional dealership practices. However, reliability is a major concern, with DeMuro noting serious issues including transmission problems and cheap plastic interiors that have cracked over time, while the rear seat offers limited legroom and the cabin tech features awkward compromises like a manually adjusted driver mirror paired with a power passenger mirror. This vehicle is best appreciated by classic car enthusiasts and Saturn fans who value automotive history and innovation over modern performance and durability.
