This car has excellent power and braking but has suspension problems. I have had three sets of tires and need another set now. The vehicle is impossible to align and constantly wears tires. The dealer and manufacturer agrees that the car is made wrong and needs to have the rear aligment changed with some brackets. I have already taken it back two times for new spec changes to the suspension. I am working with a lawyer to hav this vehicle bought back using the NC lemon law.
Its OUT OF THIS WORLD....

Car is fast for 182 HP. Achieved 29 mpg all freeway with A/C averaging 80 mph. Chose L300 for;Value,Plastic side panels,Customer service and hoping for above average Reliability. Trunk is HUGE. Seating is comfortable for 4 on long drive. Attacked by shopping carts and car doors and body panels still look great! Car is not built as quiet and reliable as Honda, but the car is still very good and enjoyable to drive.

Bought this car because I needed something affordable that I could fit in (I'm 6'5"). Bonus was that it was fun to drive and looked good too, and I loved the dent-proof side-panels. The timing chain snapped, causing some engine damage, but no major engine problems after that repair. As it aged a few other things did stop working (AC, power steering, seat-adjuster), but it was still fun to drive, right up until I was rear-ended on the interstate. If you can find a low-mileage one cheap, it is a comfortable, fun sedan to drive with a lot of useful space.

This car is 9 years old and I have replaced the battery a few times, brakes and other regular maintenance up keep. Driving it is okay I'm noticing now that the right speaker is starting to go out but overall it's been good to me.
Dont buy a Saturn (unless its mine!)

Where do I start? Wind noise: 5 trips to the dealership, finally noise is gone but doors no longer line up with other body panels. Tire wear: Three sets of rear tires in 60,000 kms (of course the dealership said it was my driving) (ps. always rear tires and always inside of treads worn). Headliner rattle: finally fixed it myself after taking it to dealership twice. Cable under hood worn out from rubbing against hoodliner. Clutch fluid resiviour went (left me stranded). Drivers side headlight housing is discoloured. This was all in the first 18 months. Now the high beam, signal switch has smoke coming from it...the saga continues...

This wagon is spacious and very comfortable with plenty of power for passing. My only complaint is that I had a brake pad problem at a high speed on a multi lane which could have been serious, not expected at low mileage and low wear. The parts were quite expensive also
Excellent Value

I bought this car used with 66,000 miles and have been very pleased; already at 110,000 miles. I have had problems with the axle seals leaking, they've been replaced twice, which is about $900 parts & labor. But better than a car payment. The daytime lights began blinking around the 90,000 mile mark. It's annoying, but not worth fixing for $800. The Saturn dealership has the part in stock to fix it; apparently it's a problem they see periodically. No other major concerns or repairs. Overall I'm happy with the performance, reliability and low maintenance of the vehicle. I'll drive it 'til it dies.

Trouble with exterior paint chipping. Gas tank cover came off in my hand while closing it after filling tank with gas. Quirly fuel economy. Varies in city; stable on interstate.
