2001 Saturn L-Series L200 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)

Overall, I have not enjoyed my Saturn experience. Sure, they are nice, but that is all. The car has so many rattles, squeaks and creaks that it drives me nuts. It has been repaired 10 times in 15 months, mostly for minor trim work, but also for a new Computer and gearbox. It is fun to drive, but so are the Camry and the Accord.
Saturn forever!

I love my Saturn. I'm a college student and have had it for almost three years. What has gone wrong you ask? Nothing! I have done all maintenance (basically oil and filter changes) and have had nothng go wrong with this car! I love it. The rear end styling is a little dated, but that's OK. It's fun to drive. Granted, it's not a sports car, but it does handle very well. Gas mileage is better than most cars its size. The radio is great. Don't crank it too loud because you can blow a speaker (oops!) All in all, I love this car! I am looking to replace it with one that has the new body style. I'm sticking with Saturn!

A Good Basic Wagon

2001 Saturn L-Series LW300 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
My LW300 has 75K on it. The only things that I have had to fix are a new BCM (body control module) and a coolant leak at the heater core. New front pads at 40K. It's been a good car. I plan on getting the trans fluid changed out, and a new timing belt, within the next 10K miles. Steering has had some "bumps" and they tell me the power steering rack will need to be replaced at some point but I have been living with it for over half the life of the car now. Second set of tires is wearing fine. Originals were terrible. Nothing fancy about the ride or the detail. Some rattles have developed but I am not complaining too much.
3 years of good driving!

I've leased my LS for 3 years and found it an excellent car. Plush upholsterystill looks like new, despite hard use-kids, dogs, camping. Comfortable ride that lets you feel the road without being jarred. Brakes (not ABS) never let me down. Standard issue CD/radio/ cassette sound system outstanding! And the paint job looks like new, too, with nothing but a car wash now and then. Handles great in all weather. Wish the reviewers and "experts " would quit picking on a great company!

My Saturn has been a good car with only minor problems. In the past six months (around 100k miles), the lighter quit working, the CD player has died and there was an electrical problem with my gear shifter. But overall, it's been a reliable car that looks good for the price I paid. I've taken it on a lot of long trips without any problems. It's not an exciting car to drive, but again, it's a very good value. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, inexpensive car. It also gets between 29 and 30 mpg, which isn't bad for a full sized sedan. Maintenance has been very inexpensive.
