We were looking a functional, reliable wagon and Saturn gave us one. The car has worked well for us over the last 115,000 miles and has required about $1,500 of unschedule repairs over the last 50,000 miles. For the last four years the car has been used to assist in various household projects that other folks would use their F150 truck for: hauling flagstone, sand, crushed rock, sheetrock and plywood. It has given us no problems at all. We driven it on trips to northern Quebec with mountain bikes on the roof and it runs great at highway speeds with enough power to pass on hills. It corners very well for a wagon and the paint after eight years still looks fine.

Good performance. Great utility. Great value. Good choice over any small/mid size SUV. Get 24mpg in combind driving. Since relacing the original firestone tires with goodyears the car is much quieter on the highway plus better stability in cornering. Very happy with this handsome and capable wagon.
Saturn is good

Power and economy is a good balance, keeps up with most vehicles, gets 25 to 28 mpg in all types of driving, is fun to drive on long trips. Would like it better if seats folded flat and roof rack had horizontal bars on roof. Lost an oil seal where oil filter goes at 85000 miles, if I didn't see it in my driveway I could have lost an engine.
A Great Wagon, Especially for the Price!

Has been a huge asset to the family! Lots of room, and a reliable ride with great MPG make for a real winner! Have been getting near 30MPG with the V6. Couldn't be happier with that number! It's not an exciting wagon (like the Magnum), but it's a great looking wagon. If you expect the looks of a sports car, don't get it, but if you want a nice looking midsize American wagon, without the fishbowl look of the Taurus, you can't go wrong. Lots of pickup, great brakes (ABS+Traction), and a smooth ride. Have Potenza tires for what it's worth. They seem to fit the car quite nicely. I've never seen a glove compartment so large! High Beams are great - can see easily in the back roads of New England!
Best car ever!!

i would recommend this car because you can actually switch the engine to a v6, i have this car and when i switched engines the car was so fast and the life of the car was extended and the engine costed 600$, the 2000 Saturn Lw1 is the best car i have ever had, bbbuuutt the problem is that there is no parts for Saturn vehicles anymore I hate it when they discontinue a company. This is Ezekiel and im 16 years old. p.s. the car costed about 1,400 and i didnt bought it from edmund

This has been a perfect car for the five of us. Kids are all under 9- I can see needing to move back up to a van when we have three teenagers. Cloth interior cleans up great.

The car and steering wheel shake and vibrate between 75-80 mph. Side panels were dented and unable to be pushed back out since they're "dent resistent." Otherwise I like the car. Would like power sunroof to be an option. It would make my family vehicle feel more adventurous. Traction control works great in rainy/snowy weather.
Transmition blew after 50,000 miles

Nothing but trouble from day one. Most of it was minor. For example, a piece of the intior trim was not molded correctly so it did not fit in place and kept poping out. Every time I took it to the dealer explaining the problem and pointing out that just poping the trim back into place wouldn't work because it would just pop back out. They kept poping it into place. Finnaly had some one else glue it. The major problem was that the transmition self distructed after 50,000 miles. The dealer isn't covering it...
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.
Got a good one

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.
