Used 2000 Saturn L-Series Sedan Consumer Reviews
It's been good to us.
This is my wife's car and she is 100% satisfied with it. The only thing that has been replaced is the liner under the hood about four months ago. Of course it has been tuned up, had tires and battery replaced and one taillight last year. Everything still works fine including the sound system, air conditioner and power windows. It has always been serviced by the dealer. It has always been garaged and it still looks new.
Saturn has a winner.
I test drive my 2000 Saturn LS2 against a 2000 Nissan Altima, 2000 Olds Alero, and a 2000 Olds Intrique. The Saturn was clearly the better car. It was quicker, handled better, and has a tight ride (euro-tuned suspension). Also, the interior appointments surprisingly felt and looked much more upscale than in the Altima and both Old's. Did I mention the HUGE trunk! I bought the car right there and then. Great car!
Run from this car
This 2000 LS Saturn has serious problems with the timing chain. Run as fast as you can from this car. Because of Saturns zero tolerance engine, once the timing chain breaks - and it will, be prepared to spend at least $4,000. Saturn will NOT help with repairs. Please read the recall investigations about this car. Only recommend this car to your worst enemy.
best car we ever owned
Extremely reliable car, no engine troubles ever, clutch and front brakes lasted to 250,000 km, redid rear brakes a couple of times. Credit manual transmission(5 spd 4 cyl), good driving and highway mileage. Windshield wipers are junk, failed twice, parking brake and air conditioning are troublesome. Fuel economy and comfort are great, sometimes drive 4 hrs at a stretch, interior is a very attractive and comfortable place to be.
love my saturn
Drives like a european sportscar.
