I love this car!
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.
Doesn't owe me a thing
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.

I Love my Car!!!!
I love L300. It handles well and responds to whatever I give it!! I shopped around at many different brands but founf the L300 gave me more bang for my bucks!!!
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...
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.
Saturn L200 2001
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.
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.
Saturn
Great car, plenty of room, had 2.5 years and have had no problems
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.
