I loved the ride and overall experience of driving my L100. I have never before owned a car that had so few problems and I still feel confident about driving it after 255,000 happy miles. The Opal chassis gave such a solid feeling every time I got into the car. The oversize Saab brakes made stopping a very smooth and accurate event. The car was redirected back to the factory to add power windows and door locks, a spoiler and alloy wheels. The sales manager called it an L100 special edition, though he admitted no such designation was attached to the car. I found these additions very welcome. The L100 in 2002 became my favorite all time car for durability, reliability, and driving enjoyment. I have owned pricier cars that cost much more to own and operate. I would pick my L100 over my 1989 Maxima (purchased new and drove for 10 plus years). The Maxima transmission became a nightmare.

This was not my first choice, but my wife loves it. The Camry was as much fun to drive as a toaster. This car offers more involvement, for a fraction of the cost. A trunk latch was loose on delivery, and the headliner buzzes. But it has been as reliable as my beloved Honda.

I bought this car a few years ago to replace an older Saturn that finally got to a point it was not worth replacing the transmission. The original 97 Saturn was ready to retire, and was replaced with this one. And it was a very good choice. Right now I have 135k miles on it, and I just replaced the original brake pads/rotors! It has a power steering leak but other than that the car owes us nothing. It has never left us walking, and gets 30+ mpgs. I will definatley buy another Saturn when the time comes
Excellent Value for the Money

2002 Saturn L-Series LW300 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

We bought our Saturn a year ago, and had moved up from a SW2 Wagon, which served us extremely well. We also very much liked the VW Passat. This car, even fully loaded, was thousands less. As city dwellers, we can't justify spending thousands on a car that will see its share of abuse from tight parking spaces, etc. The car is very well made and handles extremely well. A sport wagon that makes you feel as though you are in a European wagon (you are--it is an Opel Vectra with a Saab engine) costing thousands more.
no more boring hondas

I wanted a car with some personality. Honda, toyota, subaru have become so vanilla. This car has a soul. Makes nice exhaust note, fast, and different. Very solid. Lots of room to haul stuff - and large dog. I get pleanty of looks. Friends and co-workers thought it was volvo or audi. Great buying experience. My car had a discolored door that i noticed after i purchased. The dealer took it back and replaced with another within a few days - no questions asked.
