In Love with Saturn

Completely solid, reliable ride. Holds the road, regardless of weather or road conditions. Significant reduction of road noise, coupled with an excellent sound system, makes every trip a joy. The engine stays remarkably warm in cold weather so that the heat comes on immediately when you return to the car after having a leisurely dinner. Have experienced no problems or major repair since I purchased the car. This is my second Saturn, and will not be my last!
A pleasant Surprise

I set out seeking a mini luxory car to be used as a daily commuter to & from my office. When a friend introduced me to, at that time the new L300 with full options, leather, Moonroof, power seat, heated seat, fog lamps and V6 for $23,000 I bought it. To date I have been very pleased with both the dealer attention to detail, reliability, and the performance of the car. Gas mileage is just wonderful on regular 26 mpg average.

Buy a honda, toyota, or any import if you want a quality mid-size car.

I just traded in my 2001 L300. I was disappointed with this car. Anyone interested in purchasing a 2001 L300 should be aware that the engine (not hoses)is succeptible to coolant leaks and the front suspension wears quickly. I wouldn't recommend buying this model new as depreciation was staggering - 2/3 of the sticker value was lost in 30 months. If you buy this model used, get an extended warranty. Keep in mind that GM is cancelling the L program early and the 2004 Saturn Vue isn't using the 3.0 V-6 engine found in L300 series cars. The new Vue gets a Honda made engine and trans. If GM is giving up on this car and engine, why should you consider it?
Saturn L200 - Not a bad car

The 2001 Saturn L200 is not a bad car. Overall, it's easy to drive & get's okay fuel economy for the 138 Horsepower 4 cyl. engine. Considering weight to horsepower ratio - the vehicle should get at least 38 MPG, but even with synthetic oil, I can not get much above 32 MPG. The seating is a bit uncomfortable from when vehicle was new. (I'm not a large person.) In 2 years, I needed to have the seat cushions replaced by a 3rd party business. Saturn would not cover seat cushion failure in their warranty. Transmission fluid level can not be checked by the consumer & that makes me feel unsure of it's reliability. Oil filter is rather easy to replace by yourself. Headlights are poor.
