OK Car

I bought my LS200 with about 134,500 miles on it. It is still running. I would say the car is good to get you to and from your destination. It has always started except for once when it ran out of gas (don't drive with your gas light on for too long!) I also HATE the system in my car. I don't know if it is just my particular car but the sound is horrible. I must say, I have put (and still need too) put lots of money into this car. The window controls are in the middle near the gear which is a pain! Daytime running lights are a plus.

Waranty keeps it running, whats next?

I had high hopes with Saturns reputation and following. The car is fun to drivee and has enough power. But some problems. 1. Timing chain broke at 30,000 miles, this required an entire top-end rebuild. 2. Power steering unit went out at 10K miles. 3. Power locks remote does not work, and dealers wont/cant fix it. Warantee has kept it running, but I had intended on keeping this car for 8-10 years (my average). I doubt I'll get anything like that. My Chrysler Lebaron was a much better car.

big disappointment

This was my first new car and I was expecting something fun and reliable. Instead, I have had the car serviced innumerable times without ever getting a satisfactory reasons for its defects. It perpertually vibrates in the front end, tires wear incredilbly fast, within two and a half years it failed to start for no apparrent reason, transaxel problems, problems with the trunk latch, coolant problems, the stereo had to be replaced, and other items I can't remember right now. Suffice it to say, I am grossly disappointed with my purchase.

I wasn't even considering this car until I drove it. Saturn states 0-60 in 8.2 seconds, LOL, sure, Autoweek got to 60mph in 7.4, and edmunds got to it in 7.3, well that is about right because this car flies, and hardly anything short of a Z28 will be able to beat you, the power is truly amazing. Its got the chasis of the Opel Vectra and engine from a Saab 9-5, its refined as hell, and euro inspired and hella cheap, its the perfect freakin' car, if only people knew.

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.
