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.

I purchased my L200 (White in color, whoever thought gold looked good on these cars should be put-down) in 2005 with 56k miles on it. T-Boned (passenger side approximately 40 mph) a few weeks ago, and the vehicle was totaled out. Side-curtain air bags kept my girlfriends head from going through the window, and she had no injuries beyond bumps and bruises. In 5 years I only put 30k miles on the car, and never put a dime into it beyond routine maintenance (oil changes, new tires, etc.) and frankly I didn't even perform those as often as I should have. Great car. Reliable. Dependable. Safe. I'd definitely buy another Saturn if they were still manufacturing them.

I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed with the Saturn we bought. In 3 years we have had problems with the tail light, coolant leakage, and battery cables. By contrast we also have a 6 year old Honda Civic that has never had any problems outside of a flat tire which you can't blame on the car's design. The next time we buy a car it's going to be another Honda they are more reliable.
Love This Car!

I bought this car on a Smart Buy in 2001. My intent was to return it in 39 Mos. It turns out I love this car. I have the heated leather seats for the winter, moon roof for the spring and fall and V6 for year round fun. After 56,000 miles, my only service item was another antenna for the radio and new tires. This car has an air filter for the AC and Vent! I strongly recommend the L300, decked out as a fun to drive, inexpensive "Luxury Sedan". My only wish is that it was a little bit wider.
Dissappointed

Overall performance good though hesitates when punched from stop. Handling good at mod speeds, adequate at high speeds. Interior quality poor, especially doors and controls. Door locks stopped working – solenoids replaced. Front end tie went out at 60,500. Had extended 60k warranty & Saturn still covered it. Firestone tires very noisy w/ bad snow traction. Lots of back-end road noise inside, especially in rain. The car is less then 2 years old and already has several rattles, sounds like a ten year old car. Disappointed in the overall construction and would not buy it again nor recommend it. Buy the V6 Camry instead.

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.
Excellent

The Saturn LS200 is a wonderful car. Our car has just the 4 cylinder engine, but produces amazing power and fuel economy. Driving in the mountains at 65mph with air condition on and four passengers we got 39mpg.On a 250mile drive on the prairie at 70mph we got 43.9mpg.This I think is fantastic for a family sedan.I sure cannot understand the poor rating given to this car.
Impressive for a Plastic Car

This is my second Saturn Vehicle. My first lasted 300,000 miles and never gave me a day of trouble. This car, in the first year of driving, has been smooth and complaint free (other than the speeding ticket!) It's a smooth, quiet ride and does well on gas under my agressive driving. I love these cars because as they age, they don't show it. My 11 year old FIRST car looked almost as good as the day I bought it. And my NEW vehicle shows beautifully. It's long and sleek. I looked at Acura, Toyota, Honda, and Lexus... and, for bang for the buck, I couldn't do better than the Saturn. There was no hesitation going back.

Good: just right size. Comfortable seats front and back. Great seat heaters. Advanced Audio Sound. Tight steering. More than enough power. Good transmission. Good gas mileage. Exceptional service department Bad: Build quality is terrible. Road noise on the highway.
