I bought my 2000LW1 in Feb of 2004 it had 20,000 miles. I worked as a courier for a living and drove the car about 300 miles a day, 5 days a week in all weather conditions. This car has 321,000 miles on it!! The only thing that stopped it was hitting a deer last May, which totaled the car. It was all body damage so I just had the motor put in a LS1. After sitting for a year it fired right up and is still running strong. The only things I had to do to the car (before the deer) was oil changes, tires, and at 320,000 had to replace the fuel pump. This was a wonderful car, great gas mileage and fun to drive. I would buy another one for sure. Have to see how many miles the first engine will go.

We have a 4 cylinder wagon which has plenty of power and is very comfortable. The mileage is very good, about 26 in town and over 30 mpg on the highway. The only complaint is the wind noise is a little high on the highway. The only mechanical breakdown was a broken power stearing pump, whch was covered by waranty - including a tow to the dealer and a loaner car while being fixed. The Saturn dealers treat you like you have a luxury car.
Good all around car

I have been happy with the performance of this car, especially for a 4 cylinder. Unless you are looking for a speed demon this car is fine. A benefit of the 4 cylinder is great gas mileage - about 25(in town) to about 32(highway). Traction control gives a confident drive in wintry conditions(no need for 4 wheel drive). Wagon useful for hauling large telescope and other equipment. On the other hand, electrical and a few other minor problems have plagued the car.
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.
Worst Vehicle Ever!

Along with multiple electrical problems, ignition problems, severe vibration, bad power window switch (expensive for plastic) and a rusted out front frame, now the timing chain is going. I knew I didn't want to buy it, now I know why. I've had it less than a year and will be lucky if I can give it away! My Chevy gives me fewer problems at 172k...The Saturn only has 121k It's cramped, sets way too low, placement of cup holders makes access hard. This thing is just an all around lemon. My plymouth breeze was better, and it wasn't a very good car, either.
