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.

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.

I have owned my L300 Saturn now for 8 months and am very satisfied with the performance and reliability of the car. My only complaint so far is that the resale value seems lower than I expected. With the number of miles I drive every year I had hoped resale would remain somewhat higher.

Spunky when you need it. Comfortable for moderate drives, need to streach for longer rides such as 2.5 to 3 hrs.
