I absolutely loved this car from the moment I bought it! It had a very comfortable feel. Great performance. No major issues in the 9 years I've owned it. I would drive this car until it dies, were it not for the fact new Saturns would not be available when it came time to replace it, so I am hesitantly trading it in for a new Aura. I hope my great Saturn experience continues for years to come.

A Very Average Car

Not a bad car, just not a good one. Comfortable with OK performance and reasonable handling. Very noisy & harsh ride, eats tires like no other car I have had before. 17000 a set is unacceptable, though the dealer replaced the first set as the suspension was supposedly out of alignment. The second set was no better! Numerous problems with leaking coolant. Going back to a Honda, the prices are now about the same but the car is far superior.

Saturns just flat out has a bad rep but my Saturn L200 hasn't let me down yet. I believe it's all in how you handle the car. She's had her oil changed every 3000-4000 miles and every minor maintence that she may have needed. My parents bought me this car in 05 for graduation. At the time of purchase it had 55,000 miles on it. Now she has alomst 130,000 miles. I do a lot of traveling between North Carolina and New York. She's great on the highway, and despite what people say, she has a nice little "get-up". Over all, she's served me well. I did have to replace the rear brakes system at 100,000 but it only cost me $400...and most of that cost was due to labor. Saturn parts are cheap in price.
Saturn L300 has been great

Handling improved with 225 series tires over the 215s. Had slow leak in cooling system that cost $800. Small sensor needed to be replaced for $300. Back tail light needed new electrical parts $200 but Saturn reps knocked off $100. Overall, the vehicle has been extremely reliable for 80,000K miles. Excellent acceleration and breaking. No problems in rain or snow. Trunk space is huge and with folding back seats only increases. Plenty of room in back seat for people under 6'4".
Worst Car I ever had

Let's see, whirling noise they can't find the source, speedometer issues, center arm rest top broken, radio and speaker dies and this is all within the 1st 2 years. Everyone I know that has this car has the same issues. We bought this car at the end of the lease and that was a bad decision. We should have given it back. I say get rid of it just like the other reviewer suggest.
Nice Package here

I was never a big Saturn Fan. But my dad passed away and I got his 2001 L200 Auto 4cyl. After 2 months of driving it I must say I am impressed. The car is quiet, great on gas, has adequate power, plenty of room, and has been very dependable for my dad.

I test drove this car as a loaner from the dealer. One of the first things I noticed was that the high beams won't shut off. I only had the car for 30 min. and all ready there was something wrong. The V6 seems to be rather sluggish and slow pickup. The L300 has planty of room up front. The seats however where not very comfortable. I think Saturn is in the right direction when it comes to price. The styling is almost there but is missing what culd be one of the best styles on the market. Saturn needs to make it with smother curves that don't end so abruptly.
most problem free car i ever had

i had the L300 V6 FOR THREE YEARS WITH NOT 1 PROBLEM EXCEPT FOR A COOLANT LEAK. IT HAD EVERY FEATURE FOR 22,000 DOLLARS. I LOVED IT AND WOULD RECCOMEND IT TO EVERYBODY. SATURN SERVICE IS GREAT. THIS IS A GREAT CAR. PEOPLE SHOULD STOP GIVING A GREAT CAR BAD REVIEWS.

I bought this saturn based on their reputation. What a mistake! The car has been in the shop on a regular basis. It is underpowered, gets poor gas mileage and I have taken a beating on the cars depreciation. Will never buy another Saturn or GM product. I am going back to either a Honda or Toyota.
