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.
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.
Good Enough for the Price

Initially bought for the euro styling and German (Opel) heritage, and previous good experience with an SL. Engine (V6) is strong and responsive, ride and handling is sporty, though steering has some looseness to it. Interior noise is acceptable. Car has had its share of mechanical difficulties, including a lousy first set of tires, brake replacement before 40K, $1,000 of transmission work at 60K, broken front strut at 65K, bad bearings in HVAC fan (not yet replaced) and electrical problems in sound system at 70K (not yet fixed). If I had to do it again, I would buy it used and purchase an extended warranty, but I would buy it again.
Best Car I Ever Owner

Best car for the money today. I cannot believe what a great buy this car is. Completely dependable - not a penny in repairs. The interior is the MOST practical design, it had to be a team of female engineers. The power and performance are excellant. First off the mark - great granny 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.
