2002 Saturn L-Series LW300 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

Bought this car with 42500 miles. It has plenty of room front, back and with rear seat folded down. Highway driving is very smooth but driving over rough pavement on city streets can be a bit rough. The car has a generous amount of power for a small V-6 and the gas mileage is not bad (24 combined) with easy starts and stops. Definitely a reasonable alternative to a large suv and much more nimble.

Saturn LW300 vs. Ford Taurus Wagon

Ford has slightly more power on paper, yet engine is harsher. Saturn has more options for less $$. Ford steering was heavy and vague. Saturn was tight and nimble, at least for a wagon. Both had smooth 4 speed automatic transmissions and 4 wheel disc brakes. Saturn has standard traction control and ABS, optional on Ford. Saturn has standard 4 airbags (front and side curtain). Ford has front 2 standard with side airbags optional. Ford has slightly more interior room, but it shows on the exterior (looks like a bloated whale). Saturn styling, while conservative, is still much sportier (=better) than Ford's.

Perfect Sized Wagon

This car has turned out to be a perfect fit, and I don't even know what car would be comparable. There are so few wagons out there and none this roomy. I find my Saturn wagon is roomier than many SUVs. I feel safe in my wagon and it has been very reliable.

Saturn is the auto industry best kept secret. They build and sell great quality cars that are well finish and rides well. The biggest assets are: 1) Low maintenance cost 2) High MPG - 26 MPG combined for 6 cyl 3) Dent/ding free... never worry in parking lots 4) Roomy and comfortable seats

I bought used then found out that there were many problems. Within 6 months the timing chain broke. This cause extensive engine damage. Had to put in used engine. NHTSA is doing and investigation into this. The headlights intermittenly flicker at night.
