Promising, but needs improvement
I bought the 2000 LS2 Sedan late December 1999. I thought it woud be cool to have a millennium car for the millennium. Turned out I should have researched better. On long drives it just wasn't very comfortable. (On a 10-hour drive, I seriously ached after about 5 hours.) The rear seat recliner is badly engineered. The recline button is on the side of the seat and whenever I get out of the car, it pushes the recliner, so I always need to move the seat back upright. I've also had way more problems than I've had with other (less expensive) cars I've owned. In the 28000 miles, 33 months I've had the car, I've had several problems.
Beware: get a Honda
I spent over $10,000.00 in repair on my 2000 LS2 from March 2000 to October 2009. the engine and transmission are adequate but this car nickel and dimed me to death on sensors, steering, leaky battery, car doors that wont lock, catalytic converters. My car is worth 2000 but will cost 3200 to repair. Wont pass smog, second catalytic converter, so its gone. Should have bought the Accord I compared it against. Only buy this card if you want to get to know your mechanic better. Good riddance Saturn
almost right
The overall performance of the car is good.The firestone tires wear out in no time useless for canadian winters. Buy four snow tires on rims money well spent.The other weak area is electrical meaning burned out brake lights. Dealership is excellent for service the best I have ever experienced. This is our second of three Saturns.
Saturn Letdown
My second Saturn. First one was great. No problems with first one. This one had the clutch go out at 39K miles. The plastic armrest on the door cracked and splintered. The sun visor screw broke out. You begin to see why it was so cheap. Oh yeah, the tires wear out so fast that now they squeal everywhere.
LS2 not a bad car
I have owned the car for about 2 years now and not had one problem with it. It has a nice ride around the corners and it looks fairly appealing. The only thing is it is a Saturn! ha never thought that I would own one of these! but it worked out to the advantage.. nice car.
