Yeah the SL1 the SL2 sw1 sw2 in the Saturn coupe automatic or manual were your only choices SL1 the SL2 was a twin cam motor. But it was priced very respectively you didn't argue with the car salesman the price.
@@davinp I agree - GM tried to take the Saturn brand "upmarket" toward the end which failed miserably predictably - GM should have continued and grew its collaboration with Toyota and turned Saturn into a brand for modest high MPG cars offering versions of the Prius and Echo instead of the ill-fated Chevy Prizm/Pontiac Vibe clones.
The Saturn S series were quite reliable. With the 1.9 sohc motor. The later L series were more troublesome. And the Previa has a cult following among mini van enthusiasts
For me a bad car is an unreliable car. Many cars mentioned here are perfectly good cars, but don't meet the American expectations. The rest of the world is perfectly able to hit the highways in a 60 horsepower car, but Americans seem to need at least 200 horsepowers, while driving in the US is slower than driving in Europe.
GM was scrambling to come out with a minivan to compete with Chrysler. A problem with the design is the sharp glass edges on the front door. GM had to put a warning sticker
Saturn's on this list? I owned 2, both purchased new, and drove each for 6 plus years until selling without any problems with high miles. They were actually quite nice cars in my opinion.
Disagree with Saturn being a bad car. These were extremely popular cars back in the day, were well built and an example of GM snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory thanks to corporate infighting over having a division in the company that nobody wanted.
I had a 1997 Ford Aspire in college, overall it was a good car. no major issues in the four years I had it. The 1994 was probably a bit worse, though I was always told, you should always wait 3-4 years after a new model car comes out to give the automaker time to work out the bugs. Besides, they build the car for over 5 years, thats a pretty good run for a suppose it bad car.
BMW 318ti and VW Minivan (in Germany simply called T4) were european cars with great successes in Europe. But seemly too small for Americans. Of course, when gas costs nearly nothing and people must live in their cars...
We only had the Trans Sport in Germany and to this day i'd love to have a white one of those - with black lettering 1701-D on the side, it's a frigging type 6 shuttlecraft from ST:TNG on wheels!
a chubby friend of mine rolled an Aspire at 50+ speeds, a totaled car but he got out relatively healthy
Regardless, this brings back many memories. Thank you!
Those Saturn's were very reliable. Don't know why they are on this list.
yes, when they first started. But later Saturns weren't as reliable. GM mismanaged Saturn. Saturn wasn't supposed to be similar to GM's other brands

The early Nissan Sentra was a parts house dream! Everything on that car was rubbish! Including the internal engine parts! LOL!!
What exactly is an antie-eater? 😂🤣

I typed up 90s cars and this was posted.
The Previa was slow and weird, but it was reliable.
The Monte Carlo should have never been FWD. It should always be a RWD personal luxury coupe.

I laugh so hard at these 😂😂
The first Honda Odyssey was a mini mini van

LOL ! Funny Video, and I remember most of those monstrosities, which was very sad because i also remember the STYLE of the 70s.
The Yugo is the worst car ever. Cheaply built, so it fell apart
The Preview was a weird egg shaped van
Trans Sport! Junk! Glenn 😊
Saturn s were great cars!
All car is super and classy with some imperfections, as if came off Chinese assembly lines... Good!
Toyota previa, they still get around today and is reliable as ever
