It is offered in three kinds of body styles: a 2-door coupe, a 4-door sedan, and a 5-door station wagon.

The Saturn SL1 series, notably the 1995 SL1 and the 96 Saturn SC2 with a 1.9L DOHC engine, exhibited high oil consumption issues. The 1995 SL1 model consumed a quart of oil every 1,000 miles, resulting in engine problems such as an overloaded combustion chamber and cylinder head cracks. The '96 SC2 model displayed symptoms of heavy blue oil smoke, a sign of potential piston ring failure. One proposed remedy was to replace the piston rings without completely removing the engine, involving the disassembly of the cylinder head and oil pan and the replacement of the rods and pistons. However, concerns were raised about the effectiveness of this approach, with potential damage to the wear ring at the cylinder top and the associated risks of certain tools. Alternatives included the use of engine additives or a full engine replacement. The 2002 Saturn SL1 faced intermittent starting issues, particularly in warmer conditions. The vehicle sometimes required a 20-30 minute waiting period after short trips before it could start. Issues with key wear, necessitating frequent replacements, and an overheated key were observed. Diagnoses ranged from potential starter problems to an overheating ignition possibly linked to electrical issues. There were indications that a malfunctioning coolant temp sensor might cause the engine to flood with excess fuel when hot. The 2001 Saturn SL1 had starting challenges where the gas pedal had to be fully depressed, and the key turned several times. Persistent issues occurred even after replacing components like ignition coils and spark plugs. The eventual solution was identified as replacing a malfunctioning coolant temp sensor.
