Joke of a car

Having owned this vechicle for over 8 years, I can say I've not experienced any major problems. This is because there are only 52,000 miles driven. This car has to have the worst resale value. Any repairs almost have to be done at the dealer. Part stores do not carry anything. Dealer repairs are too high priced. Saturn wanted to charge me $32 to change a 3rd brake light bulb. It cost $7 just for the bulb at the dealer. I bought 1 bulb & changed it myself in 1 minute. Saturn has a serious problem with the timing chain & zero tolerance on their engine. Do a little internet research & you will see that Saturn has a major problem on their hands that they are trying their best to avoid.

Bad Decision

Tomorrow I return my leased 2000 Saturn- LS2 What could have been a good car for Saturn was a bomb. It was a loaded V6. Too bad that Saturn put a gas tank suited for a lawnmower on a v6 engine. It's only 12 gal. The gas mileage is poor, about 18mpg. The biggest problem has been the engine coolant. At 17,000 had a major engine repair. Never trusted it after that for trips. The wind noise is deafening. The sound system is good but impossible to enjoy due to the wind and road noise. I would NOT recommend this car nor would I ever buy or lease another regardless of the incentives. They have lost my business back to the Japanese car market forever.

my 1st Saturn

I think my LS2 looks great. I have all leather & gold package. I chose this over a Camry. I think the quality is not as good as the Camry (had one) but dealer has been great with repairs. Drivers automatic seat adjustment misplaced, goes down everytime I get out. Lumbar know conflicts with center storage. Could improve on interior design. But I still like my car.

I love my LS1

My Saturn has been the best coupe I've ever owned. I bought mine new in 2000, and almost 8 years later the car is still performing like new. It's only broken down twice while I've owned it -- both times the fixes were simple and inexpensive. The transmission is geared just right -- just the right amount of pep for a mid-size 4 cylinder, but not so powerful as to entice my teenage son to drag.

Not Really a Saturn

Overall, I was happy with my S-Series Saturn so I decided to get an L- Series. This car is not up to Saturn quality. It was fine for the first year. Then when two years came around the transmission started to make noises and the electrical is acting up. Burned out dash light is $100 to fix, power door lock and cruise control broken. Now the Service light goes on and off and Saturn service doens't know why. Should have kept my old Saturn. Too bad since this car has the best performance with the V6 in its class. Handles great and lots of room. The perfect mid-size if the quality was there.
