Saturn L200
I have been very impress with all the nice little features on the L-series model. I own two other Saturns from the S-series class and have been very happy with the vehicles reliability and especially the Saturn service department. I would recommend buying new or used Saturn vehicles from a Saturn dealership to anyone who does not like to haggle or play the sales pressure games. You will be pleasantly surprised the a car buying experience can actually be enjoyable.
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.
Just a moment
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.
peice of junk
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.
I Love My Saturn
Great buying experience. Fantastic service department. Have done nothing but general maintenance and don't expect too for a long, long time. I also get better mileage than the window sticker shows as average!
Save your money
Bought my Saturn new. Within 3 months it had coolant leaks. On my 5th set of tires at 64K, 1st set at 15K, and I called Saturn to complain about the tire situation while still in warranty and they didn't seem to want to help me. All the door locks, window controls, cruise control, power mirrors and heater needed replacing. The A/C does not work. It seems like there is always something going wrong with the car. It's a piece of junk and I regret ever purchasing it.
108,000 miles and still going.
I got to admit my Saturn maybe on the plain side of styling, but this car as sure kept me going from point a to b and so on. I have 108,000 plus on my car and majority of the car is original. IE battery and stuff like that... I have only had 2 sets of break pads in the front real original to the car. All in all for an American car its done very well, No leaks or anything like that. But I am starting to have a few problems with my front end. Thats to be expected living now in Massachusetts and when sometimes there are more pot holes and ruts in the road then there is actual road, Doing 65 on mass highways (I-93) will damage any cars front end (pot hole city). But overall a good car!
Lots of Goodies for the money
Over all I am very happy with my l100. I had an l200 as a rental car for 2 weeks and loved it. My wife and I went with the 100 Special edition. It gave all the goodies of the l200 minus power windows, rear disc brakes and height adjusting driver seat for $2000+ less. It also included mags and a rear wing.. big plus for me. Saturn needs to improve the quality of the seat fabric.... bit on the cheesey side, and i dont know how long it will hold up. The sales experience was awesome. No compalints about the sales team. Friendly from start to finish. Ive been spoiled by it, and would buy from Saturn again because of it.
