I bought my L300 2+ years ago. It was well used, but in incredible shape for its age. This car has HUGE get up and go! Considering I have over 130,000 miles on it, it's just starting to show its age. In the last year I have had to replace the MAF, timing belt/chain, and now I have a blown head gasket and the a/c is bad. Folks, I've seen a lot of people write ugly stuff. You've had a bad experience, sure. But keep in mind you had only one car for your one experience. I have had three Saturns and loved every one. Nothing is wrong with mine that 10 years and 130,000 miles doesn't explain. It's nothing more than normal wear and tear. You folks slay me... ever heard of the Lemon Law??
love it so far

I drove a Blazer for 11 yrs., so was wary about buying a car. The V6 has plenty of punch so it's been fun to drive on the country roads. I've never gotten a speeding ticket 'til this yr...My test for usable interior space was if I could get a Xmas tree into it. No problem. Also crammed in a 27" tv! Had a coolant leak that, hopefully, is fixed after the second try. Other than that, no problems in a year and a half.

Wind & road noise, and interior rattles. I can tell wich way the wind blows simply by listening to which door is creating the rush noise. Drive 90 miles (1 way) to get any work done on the vehicle as noone else here will touch a Saturn. Stock up on Saturn filters so I can change my own oil. Modify my own tools to remove the filter cap. Doors & fenders dont dent but they scratch easily. Underpowered & hesitates passing on the highway. Pretty big blind spots to the rear-hard to judge distance to things behind you. Saturn wont pester you when you buy the vehicle as they know they have you through the lifecycle of it.
not to happy

After having the car in NW PA, it has proven it's mechanical reliability in the subzero winters, and after all the salt and slush buildup over the winter months, it still looks like new! Never had any problems or concerns with any part of the auto. Drives like it did when we drove it off the lot with only minimum-mandatory maintenance.
