Used 2000 Saturn L-Series Sedan Consumer Reviews
my saturn
this car is excellent, great to drive. comfortable,great looking, safe, and power is there when you need it.
I'd rather purge both eyeballs...
with my own thumbs than purchase another Saturn. To date it still runs, but I am thoroughly embarrassed to be seen in this "car". I have multiple electrical issues (inoperable door locks, trunk release, blown break lights semi-annually, a radio that goes nearly silent when the windows are down). Designer idiots put the roof lights out of reach and the electrical seat adjustment moves your seat around when the padding is sat upon, whether you like it or not. The horn is rarely accessible due ot the huge bulb of air bag in the middle of the wheel where the horn ought to be.
Run like hell from this car!
Crap! Costs too much and parts are hard to find! Major repairs needed well before 100,000.00 miles.

Solid Transportation
I've enjoyed driving this car. I purchased it 2 years old with 12,000 miles on it. I am glad for the extended 75,000 warrenty. The car has performed very well over the last 88,000 miles. My biggest complaint is problems with the engine coil. Its been replaced every 35K miles. Other repairs I've made: New steering rack (65k), Catalytic Converter (95K), Accelleration assembly has been 100% replaced over time...problems with sticky pedal, CV Boot (55K). In my experience, these are not excessive repairs, except the engine coil which was replaced under campaign then broke in the same manner later. Its also alway had a slight hesitation under load while climbing.
A real sports sedan
One of the truly innovative sport sedans made in the US. the combo of German engine with Saturn quality control is a remarkable success. It handles like a sports car with comfort of grannie's sedan. Interior work is plush. Sound system is supurb. Low to the ground, it corners like a Miata with plenty of hip and head room. I love it
