I also have a '96 SL with 175K on the clock and hopre to milk it for a
few more years.

Saturn has changed from those days........don't but anything
Consumer Reports doesn't recommend - you will be sorry down the road.

I owned a couple of Chrysler mini-vans that CR said were junk, and

I will not buy a vehicle that CR does not rate "Above Average" in
reliability.
