The L200 is an all round good car. The car is quiet. It is very comfortable, and has wonderful acceleration.

After leasing a SL2 in 1988 we decided to try another saturn. The L100 is a well built and easy to drive car. The wife states it drives its self. Love the 34mpg on long trips and we are getting 29mpg in town. After a long trip of 350 miles we were not tired out nor did we have any back pain.

Liked my first Saturn better

I had a '99 SW2 with a 5 speed. I loved it. It was geat on gas and fun to drive. I traded it in for an '02 LS with an automatic. I guess I just like 5 speeds better. I had absolutely no problems with my old car which had 51,00 miles when I traded it. I have less miles on this one and have had two recalls and new front brakes already. Was told I needed rotors too, but passed. Technicians said that was a common problem with L series. I do like the traction control and standard antilock brakes that I didn't have on my first Saturn. This one is sportier looking. I wish the panel that separates the back seat from the trunk would go down along with the back seat to give more trunk space.

My First Saturn Wagon

As the owner of a Lincoln Town Car and having an invalid wife I need something that could easily handle a wheelchair and that would enable me to sit my wife in the front passenger seat without problems. It outdoes the Town Car in every respect. Just as responsive. Just as comfortable, easier storage access. Rides as well and a lot more economical on gas mileage. I made an excellent choice of vehicle.

Reliability issues make this one to avoid

After a long line of Fords, I expected better from this car, but have been disappointed. After 28 months, the following things have broken: key ignition unit, cruise control and recently the catalytic converter, which cost me almost $1,000. None of the above have been covered under warranty. Other minor yet ongoing complaints include a quirky remote alarm, partly broken driver's side power seat, loose front passenger's seat upholstery, and a broken arm rest. Can't wait to trade this one in, and it won't be for another Saturn.
